Description:

Super Mario fans, we are powering up and getting a high score for this 2-day Super Science Camp!

Kids will enjoy a wide range of science activities related to the themes, creatures, and environments found in the Super Mario universe.  From learning why mushrooms have spots, and making awesome Piranha Plant linkage creations, to doing a bit of coding and designing PlusPlus carts to race, this is going to be a super fun pair of days!

Lunch/recess will be held outdoors when weather permits, which will include a walk to Long Lake (approximately 15 minutes each way, on side roads).  While this is a primarily indoor camp, students must bring appropriate outerwear for recess/lunch.

Runs from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM. Families must provide their own snacks and lunches.

Prices:

$140.00 taxes waived

Program Policies

Participation: At Nanaimo Science, we offer a variety of activities to support learning and exploration for all children. If you have questions about whether a program is right for your child, please contact us. We are committed to working with families to reduce barriers to participation wherever possible.

Nanaimo Science reserves the right to expel any participant, without refund of fees, who behaves inappropriately, is disruptive to other participants, volunteers or staff, or becomes a danger to themselves or others.

Cancellation, Withdrawal and Refunds:

Customer cancellations or changes must be requested in writing.  Any change will be subject to a $25 administrative fee for each child/registration.
Cancellations/withdrawals requests submitted 14 days or more prior to the program start will be eligible for a full refund, less the administrative fee.
Cancellations/withdrawals requests submitted 7-13 days prior to the program start will be eligible for a 50% refund, less the administrative fee.
