VANCOUVER CAMPS
Update Regarding COVID-19
At Geering Up, our central goal is to create safe learning environments for students to explore STEM. We are closely following the advice from both UBC and the BC Centre for Disease Control in order to make decisions regarding our upcoming programs. At this time we have made the decision to move camps ONLINE.
What are Geering Up camps about?
Geering Up camps are all about making Science, Technology and Engineering hands on and exciting. Each day is a dynamic mix of hands on activities, demonstrations, tours, mentors, and design challenges.
“My Child had a great week meeting new friends, exploring various science and engineering concepts…but most of all they enjoyed making stuff.”
What types of Camps do we offer?
We offer general science & engineering camps and computer science focused camps. We offer camps for campers going into Grade 1 through 7. Grades 8 – 12 camps are offered at the same location in our ASAP Summer Programs.
STEM Explorations
Grade 1-5
STEM Explorations is all about exposing participants to the fun, thought provoking, and interdisciplinary nature of STEM. Whether it’s planning solutions to engineering problems, or experimenting with mind-boggling science phenomena, our STEM explorations camp aims to engage our participants through hands on, relevant and diverse activities.
Join this camp if… you are interested in general science and engineering and want to explore how the fields of STEM are connected!
