AGES 6 TO 8
Girls’ ScienceEach day takes a look at a different science and highlights the contributions that women have made in that field. Whether space, geology, ocean research or physics, girls will have the chance to explore these worlds from their own perspectives with lots of hands - on activities.
Discovery CampCan’t decide between a lab coat and a hard hat? A magnifying glass and a test tube? Discovery Camp has it all, from building rockets in a space-inspired day, to looking for precious metals in the sand. Campers will dig into physics, chemistry, and biology in a week that’s bursting with new experiences!
HypothespiesWhen you mix stuff up, when you grow bacteria, you are playing in the world of chemistry where what your ‘ingredients’ are really count. This camp will play with chemistry in the real world - from forensics to polymers or even what grows outside. Everything takes place in the context of a mystery that the kids solve piece by piece throughout the week.

TechWhizIt’s time to geek out! We’re on the hunt for technology that works with the younger mindset. That may be working with software like Scratch which is an introduction to the world of coding or playing with simple machines. Join us in what is sure to be a week full of surprises!
Earth ExplorersWhat ARE the secrets hidden within the Earth? To complete this challenge, your child will ‘crack the geological time code’, investigate the causes of climate change, and analyze ways to make a cleaner, greener tomorrow.

AGES 9 TO 11
‘Seed to Feed’ CampFollow the science of your food from farm to stomach! Most folks don’t think of Northern Ontario as an agricultural centre, but there is lots going on in our own backyard. We will take a closer look at what we eat, and how we grow the food on our table. From playing with yeast, to making our own greenhouses, this is science you can sink your teeth into!

EV3 ExplorersLEGO® MINDSTORMS is a programmable robotics construction set that gives you the power to build, program and command your own LEGO robots. (www.lego.com) This camp will use Lego EV3 Robotic systems to work on a series of challenges that progress over the week to a final challenge day on the Friday. The challenge blocks change annually, and may range from renewable energy designs to space modules... every year brings new ideas!
Media CampThe world of media changes by the day! Every year this camp takes a different angle on how we communicate with each other using technology. We will start with playing with light, and move onto topics like green screen techniques, clay animation, or playing with cameras. This camp lets the creative kid work with the ‘tools of the trade’ in making their own visual masterpieces.
The Human MachineHow does YOUR body work? Are you as fast as a frog? What do you breathe on a daily basis? How much skin do you actually have? Our bodies have all sorts of surprises in store; things we simply take for granted. This camp is going to let us play with what makes us unique compared to the rest of the animal kingdom.

AGES 11 TO 13
Don’t Try this at Home!Camp at the science center has a whole different meaning than playing at home. This age group is ready to try things a little more indepth, and we will build on such hits as rockets, liquid nitrogen, or circuitry in a whole new way. There is a higher level of independence and decision-making, and we build on the skills and curiosity of the maturing scientific mind.
