The Birds & the Beasts
Campers will learn all about the adaptations that allow birds to excel. Investigate their feathers, habitat and diet as campers dissect an owl pellet. Next take a closer look at insects, the most numerous type of creature on our planet.
Jr. Engineers
Check out super structures and what makes them stay standing. Explore strong shapes as you build a 4 foot high geodesic dome. Strategize about strong shapes as you engineer your own bridge and test its strength. Campers will create a cool 3-D puzzle and a tessellated brain teaser that will keep your friends and family stumped.
Machine Mania
Discover the mechanical advantage of using simple machines. Children will explore how each machine works and helps us do work. Build your very own catapult, a ping pong ball launching lever.
Crazy Chemistry
Become a true Mad Scientist as campers explore and experiment in the world of chemistry, make bubbling brews and cool concoctions. Learn about acids and bases, and the signs and symptoms of a chemical reaction. The fun really heats up as campers create their own sidewalk chalk and to cool things back off again make a bath fizzer.
Shutterbugs
Light up your summer as campers explore the science behind light, cameras and moving pictures. Flip the world upside down as you experiment with a camera obscura. Children will make and keep their very own kaleidoscope and see light’s true colours shining through their own pair of diffraction glasses that splits every source of light into rainbows!
