Nanaimo Science offers a variety of day camps on school Pro-D dates and school breaks!
Our programs are science-driven, with several activities daily focused on each theme for children to take part in – our approach is very hands-on, inviting kids to explore and try things out! Campers also have lots of fun, with crafts, games, and outdoor time. All materials will be provided. Campers will need to bring snacks, lunch and water from home.
