OUR KIDS review of Science Venture - University of Victoria
Science Venture camps and programs at the University of Victoria give kids STEM programming with substance. Core day camps for youth in Grades 1 to 8 run throughout the summer on the UVic campus, taught by students. Campers get to explore labs, meet researchers, and get the university experience. Aside from the setting, these camps also stand out for the range of programming. STEM-U camps emphasize classic science exploration across fields like physics, chemistry, and biology, giving kids as young as grade one an intro to academic science labs. Maker and Coding camps lean into engineering, computer science, and design, including Minecraft-based engineering. Specialty camps include marine science, astronomy, and robotics, and still other camps include experience with the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory and Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary. Science Venture offers a rare sense of progression from elementary camp through advanced programs that are a practical stepping stone into future academic and career growth. Science Venture is ideal for intellectually curious kids and teens across Victoria.
