Trades & Tech Summer Camp: Sault College (Sault Ste. Marie)

Our Camps:

The Skills Ontario Trades & Tech Summer Camps provide participants with the opportunity to explore careers in the skilled trade and technology fields in a hands-on camp setting!

Our camps allow youth throughout the province of Ontario to gain access to information on career pathways and opportunities, and practice essential skills needed to enter the skilled workforce. Campers will explore the industrial, construction, motive power, services and technology sectors through interactive games and activities.

Each camp session runs Monday-Friday, 9:00 to 4:00 each day. Our summer camps are intended for participants entering Grades 7-9 the following school year.

Skills Ontario works closely with our Camp Hosts and other local partners at each location to provide our participants with an exceptional and unique camp experience. Activities at each camp location may vary.
