Welcome
to Brain Waves
As
any parent knows, kids are natural learners. Their curiosity
about the world around them is insatiable, and it’s
hard for parents - even teachers - to keep up with their desire
for new knowledge.
At Brain Waves,
we’ve developed science and technology enrichment programs
that give children a fun and challenging environment in which
to satisfy their natural urge to learn about the world. Our
innovative curriculum helps kids learn about aspects of science
and technology that are “off the beaten track”,
and that they usually won’t see in school.
All our programs
take a hands-on approach to discovery. We don’t just
show kids how things work. We teach them how to find out for
themselves, using hands-on activities, games, crafts, and
the chance to build and use real instruments and machines.
Above all, our
programs focus on children… to help them develop into
confident, curious, and intelligent individuals who learn
the joy and challenge of discovering things for themselves!
I developed
Brain Waves after 18 years industry experience as an Electrical
Engineer and two years teaching Math and Science. Supported
by an amazing group of teachers, students and volunteers,
we are now enjoying our sixth year! Many thanks to all the
families who have become a part of our family at Brain Waves.

What's
New for 2009?
Check
back in January to see about our March Break camps.
What are parents saying about us?
This
is the second year for my kids at Brain Waves. They loved
it! Every day they learned new things and had a lot of fun
too. They especially enjoyed the variety of subjects and the
unique, hands-on activities. And they got to learn things
they have never seen anywhere else. There's no other summer
camp like it.Thanks. See you next year!

This summer was my son's first experience with a Brain Waves
camp and he absolutely loved it. After each day, he would
bubble over with enthusiasm with what he had learned and what
was planned for the following day. I especially liked the
welcoming and calm atmosphere upon entering, and the smiles
on all the faces of the children after a
day of learning and fun. The camp staff (senior and junior)
were engaged and readily interacted with kids and parents.
I learned something new from the counsellors every day I picked
up my camper. Now at the end of summer, my son tells me that
the Brain Waves camp he attended early in the season was by
far the best experience with camp he
has ever had. We will definitely return for camp next summer,
and look for other Brain Waves opportunities such as the PD
day events this coming school year. ~Allison B
