July 10 @ 9:00 am – July 14 @ 4:00 pm EDT

It is rocket science!

Let’s learn about rockets in flight and the four forces that act on them: weight, thrust, and the two aerodynamic forces, lift and drag.

Kids will be:

  • ★ making sled kites to learn about drag,
  • 🛰 experimenting with a Pop Can “Hero Engine”, making, designing
  • 🚀 launching a bottle rocket, and tracking its flight of our rocket with a homemade Launch Altitude Tracker.

Focus on Women in STEM : Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Lillian Todd & Mary Jackson.

$115 CAD taxes included

June 2 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm EDT

In 1854, Ana Atkins used a newly discovered technology called cyanotypes to record all the specimens of algae found in the British Isles.

In this workshop, you will capture your own cyanotype image on a piece of cotton paper or cloth. Kids are welcome to bring their own piece of clothing or cloth to make a cyanotype print. Each camper will be able to make a minimum of two cyanotype prints. Create a record of the world around you with cyanotypes.
