This camp is designed to build the following character traits:

Curiosity: In both the academic and the athletic aspects of this program, students are prompted to identify their strengths and passions and find ways of using both to advance their understanding, whether in a science lab or at the waterfront. Teaching techniques encourage personalized learning and growth.
Independence: Our blended learning courses provide students with the opportunity to make choices on their own while on-campus for three weeks (about activities, study, self-care, and socializing) while also instilling self-initiative and self-motivation as students learn remotely online for the first 1.5 weeks.

This course deepens understanding of biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics—and the links between science, technology, society, and the environment. Overnight campers build investigation skills through hands-on labs at Northcote Farm and other practical experiences. Students explore topics such as cell and system connections in animals and plants; chemical reactions, with a particular focus on acid–base reactions; forces shaping climate change; and the interaction of light and matter. While on campus, mornings and evenings are devoted to the work around the Science course; afternoons are spent in recreational camp activities on our waterfront and campus. Weekend excursions (e.g., Canada’s Wonderland, Ganaraska Forest Centre) can be added on at the time of registration.

Prerequisite: SNC1D, SNC1P, SNC1W (Academic, Applied Science or General Grade 9 Science).
