Yukon College Summer Camps Offered In Communities.

Whitehorse – Yukon College Science Quest Summer Camp gets underway for the first time in Pelly Crossing. Until now, Yukon College summer science camps have been running in Whitehorse for children, ages 8-15. The themes of the summer camps in Whitehorse are computers, trades, and science. Communities such as Dawson  City and Haines Junction have had the computer camps run during the summer break.   

The Science Quest camp in Pelly Crossing is a mix of science themes. It is open for ages 8-14. The Eliza Van Bibber School hosts the camp. There are fifteen spots available for campers. The camp also provides an opportunity for recreation.  

In Whitehorse, the Computer Camp has a new introduction to film making this summer. The new Mac computer lab is the venue for the budding cineastes in their creative filming and editing. The campers will also be picking up tips in Garage Band and Adobe Photoshop. Campers in the trades will have hands-on experience in carpentry, culinary arts, painting, and electrical. Activities have been set up in physics, chemistry, biology, and aviation for those signing up for Science Camp.  

Bursaries are available to camp participants in financial need. The bursaries are provided by Actua, a national non-profit organization which advocates for learning and change in science and technology.   Bursary information and qualifications are available at [file no longer available] or call 668 8745.
