Kinder Camp
The Kindergarten program for 4 and 5 year olds is a fully in-person academic camp offering campers an introduction and advancement in academic subjects based on individual learning levels. Campers are introduced to curriculum Math and English subjects to give them a head start on grade-level learning for the upcoming school year. They learn to read through one-on-one instruction and build on critical thinking skills through various literary texts. STEM subjects are introduced to this group at a beginner level through simplified Coding exercises. For Carpet Time, students actively participate in group discussions on a variety of subjects including but not exclusive to Science, History, Story Telling, Character Skills, Life Skills, and International Themes. Kindergarten students participate in themed weekly workshops instructed for their age group. Campers enjoy both structured and free outdoor activities such as team games, hiking, drama, and art.

Grades 1–6 (Junior, Middle, and Senior Camps)
Junior Camp (ages 6–7) • Middle Camp (ages 8–9) • Senior Camp (ages 10–11)
Campers will have an opportunity for an enriched learning experience in core curriculum subjects, integrated with instruction in relevant STEM topics that are selected each year by our experienced curriculum development team. Campers will learn how they can use English, Math, and Research skills to bridge creative writing and profit, to build and present an informed opinion, to budget and invest wisely, as well as to extend their skills learned in presentation techniques to present their projects before an audience. Besides the opportunity to progress in their curriculum subjects (English and Math) for an advantage before the next academic year, campers will explore advanced STEM subjects that are broken down to engage their grade level. Running on weekly themed sessions, from June 29th to August 28th (9:00 am to 12:00 pm), campers will have an introduction to Short Story Writing, creating eBooks, Digital Art, Debate based on Current Events, Research, Financial Literacy (Personal Budgeting, Entrepreneurship, and Investments), and Computer Science. The afternoon session offers campers a unique experience through weekly themed workshops and activities in Art, Architecture, and Engineering. They will learn Science using a hands-on approach investigating mysteries in Science, through an understanding of the Science of Structures, Chemistry, and Physics. Campers will learn about Music through Drumming and different musical instruments around the world. Finally, they will look at solving mysteries and immersing themselves in the amazing world of Magic. Campers research and investigate themed topics, get innovative and creative in expressing what they have learned, work in teams for themed projects, and build their confidence in public speaking and presentation of their work. Campers engage in both team sports and physical activities as well as enjoy the social interaction and the natural environment as they hike with friends.
SSAT / Exam Prep Camp
The Exam Prep Program is an in-person eight-week Exam Prep course in the summer to prepare students for both the SSAT and private school admission exams such as for UTS. The summer course is followed by an integrated Academic-SSAT Fall Prep program for SLI students or a weekend SSAT Fall Prep program for external students. The Fall Prep program also offers an exclusive prep course for students preparing for UTS admission exams.
Multi-Activity Summer Camp
SLI’s multi-activity summer camp program offers campers, from ages 3 to 12 years, a blend of academic enrichment with hands-on exploration. In the morning session, students engage in Math and English subjects to reinforce concepts and work ahead of their grade level curriculum. Through weekly STEM sessions, campers will be introduced to entrepreneurship, financial literacy, problem-solving, and creativity. The afternoon program features different theme-based workshops and activities every week; campers are introduced to the worlds of Art, Architecture and Engineering, Sciences, Science Mystery, and Magic. Campers are presented opportunities to question, investigate, observe and participate in practical, hands-on workshops, and apply themselves through innovation and creative expression. Working together, campers develop skills in teamwork and build their own confidence in public presentations and debate. The program incorporates daily outdoor and indoor sports to promote physical fitness, as well as hiking through the Betty Sutherland Trail to provide campers an opportunity to learn about their natural environment.
Admission Exam Prep Summer Camp
