The Faculty of Science outreach program, Science Rocks!<\/strong> <\/a>has not seen a camper since Summer 2019 due to the pandemic … that was until Saturday, October 16, 2021 when we kicked off our Science Rocks! Days!<\/strong> <\/span>This event is an extension of our week-long Science Rocks! Summer Camp program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

24 campers, aged 9-11, spent a full day learning about the ocean during our “Ocean-ology<\/span>” camp. They explored the layers of the ocean, how the moon affects the tides, and even built their own xylophone to examine sound waves!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanks to our amazing team leader, Rhien Hare<\/strong> and her crew Manjot Benning, <\/strong>Connor Frey<\/strong>, Kasey McDougall<\/strong>, and Curtis Plug <\/strong>the kids had a great time!<\/p>\n

The Science Rocks! Team will be heading out to our Chilliwack campus on October 30th for the Nature Exploration! Camp. This camp is all about exploration! They’ll be taken on a guided nature expedition across campus to discover local biodiversity, discover patterns and symmetry in nature, and create their very own rainbow spectroscope.<\/p>\n

To finish off the fall, we have two additional day camps planned for kids aged 12-13. Seats are still available for these two so register today!<\/strong> The cost to attend is $35 and includes a Science Rocks! t-shirt, lab book full of cool activities all wrapped up in a full day of fun!<\/p>\n

More day camps coming January 2022!!<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
