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 enables students to enhance their understanding of concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics, and of the interrelationships between science, technology, society, and the environment. Students are also given opportunities to further develop their scientific investigation skills, including hands-on labs using Northcote farm and other practical elements. Students will plan and conduct investigations and develop their understanding of scientific theories related to the connections between cells and systems in animals and plants; chemical reactions, with a particular focus on acid–base reactions; forces that affect climate and 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 are included in Boarding program cost; Day Program students have the option to add on weekend excursions.
Prerequisites: SNC1D, SNC1P, SNC1W (Academic, Applied Science or General Grade 9 Science),
