Our Sessions Are Full and Our Team is Stacked: You'd Better Get in on This!

The buzz is real—JICS Summer Lab is the place to be this July! This inaugural Toronto summer camp, hosted by the renowned Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study at the University of Toronto, has captured the hearts of families across the city and beyond! With a lineup of dynamic, inquiry-based programs and a leadership team of seasoned educators, it’s no wonder spots vanished in a flash.​ While many of our sessions are full, there are limited spots remaining.




Why the Rush?

Our camp isn't just about keeping kids busy; it's about igniting a lifelong love for learning. Drawing inspiration from the renowned Natural Curiosity Program and from the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study, we offer a unique, integrated approach to summer camp! Our activities are designed to complement and enhance the learning experiences of children in a supportive, fun and inclusive environment.


We could not have dreamed of a better staff! At the heart of our success is our incredible team of educators. Each member brings a wealth of experience, creativity, and dedication to fostering an engaging and nurturing environment for our campers. Their commitment ensures that every child feels seen, heard, and inspired to explore.


Our programming is as diverse as our campers' interests. From the imaginative realms of our Imagination Labs to the hands-on explorations in our Natural Curiosity Labs, there's something for every young mind:​

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
