Pre-Camp Package 2018 Surrey Summer Camps Welcome to summer camp! Please read the following information carefully to ensure that all future scientists have a wonderful time at camp. Inspiring tomorrow's scientists and engineers We are a non-profit, STEM education outreach organization that provides opportunities for youth to explore science and technology through hands-on and interactive activities.
National Network Science AL!VE is a network member of ACTUA Summer 2018 Actua provides training, resources and support to its national network of members located at universities and colleges across Canada in the delivery of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education outreach programming. Each year, these members engage over 225,000 youth in 500 communities nationwide. Please visit Actua at www.actua.ca. Welcome to Science AL!VE s summer camps! Join us for hands-on and interactive STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) camps that introduce campers in kindergarten to grade 9 to the innovative and explorative world of discovery. From chemistry to biology to engineering and computer science each of our camps introduces students of all ages to a variety of STEM fields.
Pick Up/Drop Off Camps run from 8:30am-3:30pm. Precare (8:00am-8:30am) and post-care (3:30pm-5:30pm) are available for an additional fee. Drop off and pick up will be at the following locations: Surrey Junior: SUR 3240 Surrey Senior: SUR 3250 Pre/post care: SUR 3250 We will have staff and volunteers to direct you on the first day from the main mezzanine foyer. Only authorized adults may sign out campers at the end of the day*. Please provide a signed note to the Science AL!VE staff for alternative pick-up arrangements. *Students aged 12+ can be given authority to self sign out. Directions Location: Central City Shopping Centre The SFU Surrey campus is located inside the Central City Shopping Centre As you enter the mall you will see a set of stairs with SFU written on them. Head up these stairs to the mezzanine level where Science AL!VE volunteers will be to help guide you to the camp rooms. Both camp rooms are found on the third floor of the building. Need help? Our office staff would be happy to help should you get lost on your way to camp. Please call us at 778-782-5912. We will also be sending out directions and a map again closer to your camp date.
What To Bring (And things to leave at home) Snacks and Lunch Campers should bring two snacks, a lunch, and a water bottle every day. Please mark these clearly with the camper s name. Please note: Due to serious food allergies, nut products are NOT ALLOWED at camp. If your child has nuts in their lunch, we will purchase them an alternate lunch to be reimbursed at the end of the day. We also recommend that all campers work towards packing a no trace lunch. This means reducing the amount of garbage by using re-useable and recyclable packaging. This helps us reduce overall camp waste and helps protect the environment. Clothing Please wear weather appropriate clothing and closed-toed shoes as we will be working in a variety of locations on campus including labs. On sunny days be sure to also bring a hat and sunscreen. On Fridays students will be experimenting with water so a change of clothes is recommended. Money/Valuables These are easy to lose, please leave them at home!
Open House Join us on Thursdays at 3pm to see what campers have been discovering and see one of our spectacular science shows! Parking Directions Please meet us in the camp room SUR 3250 from 3-3:30pm! We will have volunteers available on the mezzanine level to direct you if needed. We are working with SFU Surrey to determine where you should park during drop off and pick up. We will be sending out additional information as soon as it is available. Questions? Need additional information? We would love to hear from you! Our office staff are available 9am-4pm Monday- Friday.
