This summer, UBC will be running the popular Phenomenal
Physics Summer camps. 16-20 places are available
to children who are exceptionally interested in science but would not
ordinarily be able to attend due to financial reasons.
Fun with Physics Camp - student in Gr1-3
Astronomy Camp - student in Gr3-5
Advanced Physics Camp - student in Gr4-6
Computer Science and Physics Camp - student in Gr7-9
Full details of the camps can be found at http://phas.ubc.ca/summer-camps/camp-descritions
and the children may select the camp of their choice. The children’s families will incur no cost
but they must provide packed lunches and be able to bring the children to UBC
campus between 8:45-9:00am in the morning and pick up the children at 4:00pm in
the afternoon on each day of the camp.
The children must be well-behaved.
