StFX Campus Earth Science Summer Camp 2025

Registration begins Thursday March 6, 2025 at 10am.
 

Camp Location: StFX Nasso Family Science Centre, Antigonish.

Camp Hours: 9am - 3pm Monday - Thursday (*Camps will run Tuesday - Friday during weeks with a Monday holiday). All camps are 4 days in length.

Each camp is geared towards the specified age groups with challenges varying from beginner to advanced. Campers can be registered in the camps for the grade which they are going into in September 2025 (e.g. a child finishing Grade 2 should be enrolled in a Grade 3-4 camp). Exceptions can be made, within reason.

Earth science camps will immerse youth in the wonders of our planet through hands-on activities and thrilling discoveries! Dive into the fascinating world of rocks, minerals, and fossils, uncover the secrets of plate tectonics, and explore the power of natural forces that shape our world. Campers will investigate Earth’s processes and conduct experiments that bring the science of our dynamic planet to life. From understanding the mysteries of the deep Earth to learning about sustainability and the environment, these camps are perfect for curious minds ready to dig deeper into the story of our Earth!

Note: Waitlists will be available for camps that are full! Full camps will be indicated with wait list links in our schedule below

Camp Registration is advised to be as early as possible. Registration will cease once camps are full.

To Register
