About This Activity
Instill curiosity and develop a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) from a young age! Our Miniminds camps introduce our mini-scientists and engineers to all areas of STEM through lots of exciting, hands-on activities. We provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment for incoming Grade 1 students to practice their social and classroom skills all while exploring, creating, and discovering the exciting world of STEM. We offer two different versions of Miniminds: Early Explorers and Growing Geniuses. Each version will involve different STEM topics, building challenges, and creative activities. Geer up for a STEM-tastic week! This program is intended for participants entering Grade 1 in September 2026. Please note that we cannot accept campers younger than this due to BC childcare laws. Lunch is included in your registration. Campers will receive a nut-free, kid-friendly lunch made by SAGE dining services. Vegetarian options will be available. Individual accommodations are not available. If your camper will not be able to partake in the lunch program, please email us after registering. Girls* thrive when they have a focused space to discover, explore, and cultivate their love for science and engineering. Geering Up’s annual All Girls* Week encourages girls* and inspires the next generation of women* scientists. All Girls* camps offer the same STEM activities as their co-ed counterparts. *We use the words “girls” and “women” with an asterisk (*) to intentionally include students and stakeholders who are underrepresented in STEM fields. Cis girls/women and trans, genderqueer, or non-binary people are welcome at our All Girls* programming. For more information, visit our All Girls* page on our website. NOTE: The same themes at the same grade level will contain the same content across all weeks. For example, Maker 2/3 (Week 1) will contain the same material as Maker 2/3 (Week 7).
