Fall/Winter Pro-D Camps are now open!
Get ready for an exciting season of science exploration! Nanaimo Science is thrilled to introduce our Fall/Winter Pro-D Camp Series, where students dive into hands-on experiments, creative challenges, and imaginative discovery. From magical potions and engineering marvels to winter wonders, each camp offers a unique theme packed with science-driven activities, crafts, games, and outdoor adventures. Join us for a day of learning, laughter, and hands-on fun!
Our upcoming camps include:
- Witches and Wizards (October 24) – A Halloween-themed day of magical potions, optical illusions, and glowing experiments (costumes welcome!)
- Exciting Engineering (November 10) – Young engineers will design boats, earthquake-resistant towers, and flying machines through imaginative building challenges
- Winter Wonders (December 5) – Indoor winter science featuring ice fishing simulations, animal adaptations, paper snowflake wind tunnel tests, and homemade ice cream
Runs from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM. All materials will be provided. Campers will need to bring snacks, lunch and water from home.
