JICS Summer Lab is a unique inquiry-based day camp in Toronto’s Annex neighborhood, rooted in the world-class philosophy of the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study at U of T, which blends experiential learning with the joy of summer camp.
Launching as a pilot this July, we offer four one-week sessions for kids ages 4-9, with three programs: Natural Curiosity (outdoor education), Creative Lab (arts & crafts), and Imagination Lab (multi-interest).
With a strong staff-to-child ratio, led by teacher candidates and ECE grads, we nurture curiosity, foster creativity, and build lifelong skills—all while having fun!- Special needs: Not available

Programs and Sessions Calendar
We’re known for our inquiry-based, play-focused approach that centers on the child’s curiosity and interests. Our experience stands out because we combine the world-class educational philosophy of the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute for Child Study with hands-on, experiential learning. Our animating philosophy is rooted in the belief that when children feel safe and supported, they take risks and engage more fully in their learning. For our inaugural summer we’re most proud of our Natural Curiosity program, which integrates Indigenous perspectives and land-based learning, fostering a deep connection to the environment and inspiring students to become active, responsible learners.
University of Toronto JICS Summer Lab Camp currently has 0 program available; 4 TBD.
