From photons to radio waves, and from gentle vibrations to sonic booms, Spring Break Science Camp brings light and sound to life. Campers will explore how rainbows form, why lasers behave the way they do, and how sound travels through air, objects – even our bodies! With interactive shows and hands-on experiments, kids will see sound, hear light, and discover the hidden science behind everyday wonders.
SOUND

LIGHT

Why does it say my registration isn’t complete?

How do I book my child for Stay & Play until 4pm?
No pre-booking is required—just let the camp leaders know on the morning of during check-in.
If my child is already 5, but born in 2021, could they still participate?
We cannot accept campers born in 2021 or later years. According to BC regulations, campers must turn 6 years old by the end of the calendar year. Thank you for understanding that we’re here to create safe learning environments for everyone.
What if I need to cancel or switch weeks?
That’s not a problem! Cancellations, transfers, and changes are possible, but may be subject to fees. Please review our full policy. Any changes can only be initiated by email the team at [email protected].
Can I sign my child up for both weeks?
Both weeks feature identical programming, so please book just one because duplicate bookings will be cancelled and are subject to administration fees. Our system allows caregivers to book on behalf of multiple children, however, we don’t permit campers repeating programs. Thanks for your understanding to ensure every child gets a chance to participate in Science Camps.
