Explore a world of innovation and discovery at VISST Spring Break camps! These camps offer a unique focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills. Moreover, whether your child is a budding scientist, engineer, or tech enthusiast, these camps provide an ideal blend of academic and personal development. Join them this Spring Break and ignite your child’s passion for STEM! Here is what the team from VISST had to say:
What is the mission and philosophy of your spring break camp, and how does it align with Vancouver parents’ needs?
VISST Spring Break camps are designed to be fun, hands-on, and genuinely engaging for students ages 8–15. Built around the idea of “the doing,” each camp dives into STEM topics that matter in today’s world, keeping kids curious, active, and excited to learn. Programs are developed and taught by award-winning instructors and PhDs who are committed to making sure every student walks away with a meaningful experience. Cultivating curiosity and having fun aren’t just nice-to-haves here, they’re the whole point. All camps are held at VISST’s centrally-located school at 1490 West Broadway in the heart of Vancouver, making it an easy and accessible option for Vancouver families.
What kind of activities can kids expect to enjoy during the camp?
This spring break we are offering a 3D Modeling and Animation camp in which students learn to work with Blender, the same open-source software used to animate the 2024 Academy Award winning feature “Flow”. We will also use our school’s Maker Space to offer a camp in which students learn 3D design and get to work with Laser Cutters and Cricuts. Last, but not least, we are proud to offer a FREE (made possible by a generous donation from one of our donors) Creative Technology for Girls camp. In this camp girls in grades 6/7 will discover 2 creative technologies, Computer Numeric Controlled Tool Fabrication and Coding for Game Development.

“The two camps I attended at VISST were fantastic! The material was taught in a fun and engaging way, and we did many fun projects, such as building a gondola, and making multiple Als. I would definitely recommend the camps!”
“My son attended several VISST summer camps, including the Science Matters and Puzzle Game Programming camps, and had a great time. He loves Science and Technology and the camps increased his love for the topics and encouraged him to explore them further. The instructors are fun and engaging. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!”
