Summertime is often under-utilized by socio-economically challenged children who are left on their own without adult supervision. KidsFest's Academic Summer Discovery Camps are a means not only of preparation, but of prevention. These summer-long daily programs are designed to provide children from lower-income families with an opportunity to improve their academic skills in preparation for the coming school year, allowing them a greater chance at completing their education.

The camps, in partnership with Teachers Who Tutor/Kiddies Manor Inc., offer individualized programming using Ministry of Education approved curriculum, and involve daily lessons in a variety of subjects such as English, Mathematics, French, Science, and Computer Skills, as well as life skills training, physical activities, and a “challenge” component.

Through this initiative, we are helping struggling students thrive in a society with ever-increasing academic and social demands.
