Summer Camps 2023

Magic Land

Let the sorting beaker sort our scientists into 4 schools of STEM and each school gets to compete every day to earn house points. During this week, the students can study the magic of STEM. They will learn about the science that the muggles have discovered. They will learn the new way of creating potions (formerly known as chemical reactions). Instead of using a cauldron, they will be using beakers, graduated cylinders, and conical flask. Sometimes the world can be tough, and by the flick of a wand, a wizard or witch can do a very complicated thing very quickly. But, scientists don’t have wands. Instead, they have simple machines to help them get things done easily. You design machines and also present your inventions. The wizarding world may seem good, but the scientist world of Magic is way better!

Dinosaur Land

Welcome to the Dinosaur themed summer camp! Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure into the prehistoric world of these majestic creatures. This camp is not just about exploring the past, it’s about discovering the future through STEAM activities. As you journey through the camp, you will learn about the fascinating science behind paleontology, geology, biology, and more. You’ll have the opportunity to excavate and analyze fossils, uncovering secrets from millions of years ago. But that’s not all. This camp is also about fostering a sense of curiosity, creativity, and teamwork. You’ll work together with your fellow campers to build your own dinosaur models, design your own habitats, and even construct your own interactive exhibits. Each day, you’ll be challenged to think critically and problem-solve, using the latest technology and scientific methods. But most importantly, you’ll be encouraged to explore your own unique interests and passions. So come and join us for an unforgettable summer of adventure, discovery, and inspiration. Let’s go back in time and uncover the mysteries of the dinosaurs!

Starcity

‘Solar system, earthquakes, Volcanoes, natural disasters, Mechanical engineering, Biomes’: In a world named STARCITY, you can discover all types of things about the Earth. Many years ago there were more than our 21st century living organisms. There were many animals who went extinct. But, in STARCITY, you get to rediscover those animals through fossils. At STARCITY, you won’t find natural disasters, but you will learn all about them. STARCITY is also a place full of solutions, and you can build a structure strong enough to withhold these natural disasters. Oh but wait: STARCITY is even beyond the Earth- here you get to discover Galaxies, and space too! You get to work on a Space Mission and then learn ways of reporting your findings through our Speech and Debate training.

Under the Sea STEM

Put your swimsuits on because we are going to dive into the STEAM seas. As you explore the depths of the ocean, you discover planktons, and even see them up close (even the unicellular planktons). But, sometimes you need to take a breath (we are mammals after all), and go to the surface of the water. When going to the surface, you may find a boat, and you could understand how and why the boats sink or float. You can even sneak onto the docks and help the engineers built and test their next boat. Suddenly, a huge wave hits you, and many fish die. You grab your pH paper in your kit and find the water to be too acidic. As you travel through the ocean to find

out more, you find out more about salinity and acidity. As you keep swimming, you start going downwards, and find many rocks. You collect them and study them. You have found sedimentary rocks, and igneous rocks. You also gain an in-depth knowledge of these rocks. As you keep swimming, you learn that being under the sea is the place to be.

Bug Mania: Bugs and Dragons

Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there was a group of curious kids who were fascinated by bugs and insects. They spent their days exploring the forest floor, observing the buzzing bees and the crawling caterpillars. They also encountered some magical creatures in the forest and were astounded by their size. Some of these creatures could breathe fire out of their nostrils. This summer, these friendly forest creatures are paying a visit to our camp. We are all set to welcome them and learn from them. Our curious entomologists will be learning about the importance of each of these creatures, building models and habitats and working on some biomedical engineering. We will use scientific methods and technology to analyze our feelings and draw conclusions about the bugs we studied. Through our exploration of bugs and insects, our campers will learn important skills such as observation. critical thinking, problem solving and the importance of preserving our environment and the role that every creature plays in our world. Our entomologists know that they have the power to make a difference and to help protect the environment for future generations to comee
