UWinnipeg Science Adventure Camp

Spark curiosity at the Science Adventure Camp. Don't miss out on this thrilling summer adventure!

At UWinnipeg Science Adventure camp, kids ages 8-11 will explore the world of science through hands-on experiments, creative crafts, and engaging lessons. Plus, they'll have a blast with sports and games!

Hosted by the Department of Recreation Services, this weeklong camp gives students the opportunity to learn in a fun and engaging environment alongside other young learners. Located at UWinnipeg's Richardson College for the Environment and Science, RecPlex, and Duckworth Centre, activities take place daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a one-to-six staff-to-camper ratio that ensures children are given guidance, support, and the chance to learn from our friendly staff!

This summer, there will be five-day and four-day camps, running July 28–August 1 and August 5–8 (closed August 4 for Terry Fox Day). The drop-off and pick-up location for both camps is the Duckworth Centre Entrance (400 Spence St.).
