EUReKA! Summer Camps
Would you like to experience the FUN in science this summer? EUReKA! offers week-long science day camps programs for students ages 7-14:
- JUNIORS are 7-8 years old
- INTERMEDIATES are 9-10 years old
- SENIORS are 11-14 years old
Campers will enjoy an interactive week of demonstrations, hands-on activities, group activities, building projects, university tours, outdoor activities, and games. Areas of science covered include: biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and technology. We have an A-Week and a B-Week that offer different projects, so campers can come for 2 weeks in the summer if they wish! Projects are different each, and every year (except for your favourites).
Because of recent statistics showing greater involvement for boys in sciences during school age, EUReKA! offers a special GIRLS WEEKEND camp for girls aged 9-14. Back by popular demand, we are taking up to 44 girls to the McQueen Lake Educational Site July 22-24th, 2011.
EUReKA! is happy to announce we have our own technology camp! Last year in technology camp, participants got to make their own video games, learn about Google Sketch (a 3-D paint program) and explore in PhotoShop. You don't just sit in front of the computer all day, though. The EUReKA! instructors challenge you in our daily capture the flag games and during our weekly water-fight! There are limited number of weeks of technology camp so they sell out fast.
At EUReKA! we believe everyone should be able to come to science camp! Thanks to the AMAZING support from Kamloops businesses and organizations, we are pleased to announce that our bursary program is as strong as ever! Please check out our
