Mad Science of Hamilton & Kitchener

Kids love the Mad Science program and come home each week with a fun new activity or thing they built. I love that it is offered at their school!!!

My daughter is on week two of Mad Science Camp having participated in Doctors, Detectives, and DNA, and this week Claws, Codes, and Constellations. We absolutely love the camp! This is not an expensive daycare. This is a place of learning with a really thoughtfully planned program for children. My daughter comes home bouncing up and down sharing what they did that day, and she is normally outspoken when she doesn’t like something and isn't easy to fool or pacify with silly tasks. They get outdoor play time which makes me very happy particularly during the summer months. No kid should be indoors all day. Their outdoor play is instructional play with games teaching them about topics in a fun way, instead of being dumped outside to figure it out. Some scientific concepts are hard to grasp but I appreciate introduction to concepts such as the periodic table using bingo. Slime... lots of slime, but the kids love it, and they manage to use it to teach chemistry. I love this program. I wish schools were run in this way. Well worth the money particularly for intelligent and curious children. Administration is responsive, professional, and accommodating. I had a concern over age gaps with a range of Grades 1-6. It’s a vast range in skill and older children tend to dominate so I was worried my Grade 2 wouldn't have as much hands on. Administration responded to my concerns and shared the age ranges of registered students so that I could judge which groups/weeks work best for me. I’m very happy to have invested in my child with this program.
