2024 CAMP-IN SEASON
Take a look at our new and improved Camp-In format! After much discussion and consideration, Science North has decided to revamp its overnight program. Students and supervisors will still get the chance to experience an all-night science Extravaganza but with a slight twist in the old format. Check out the example schedule below for more information!
You arrive earlier and leave later! This will allow your students to interact with all the experiences that Science North has to offer – the butterfly gallery, meeting our animal ambassadors, Live Discovery Theatre Shows and other bluecoat lead experiences. Afterwards students will have dinner and then participate in fun and hands-on STEM activities, accompanied by team building activities, IMAX® and the Planetarium.
In the following format, there is a designated time for the students to rest and relax. Students will get the chance to sleep on their own cot, in our renown Vale Cavern. In the morning, the everyone will have breakfast, experience another Discovery Theatre Show, visit our Exhibit hall and conclude the visit with a stop at Whizards, our gift shop.
If you have any questions regarding the new format, please contact sabrina.welden [at] sciencenorth.ca
