Parents or guardians are responsible for packing their child’s lunch and snacks each day. Campers will have at least two snack breaks, and one lunch break daily. To maintain a safe environment for all campers and staff, all food must be free of nuts and seafood. We recommend including a variety of healthy food options and packing extra snacks, as children tend to be more active at camp than on a typical school day and often have increased appetites. Please also send your child with a labelled, refillable water bottle.
Science Camp
Eureka!
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) is excited to partner with the City of Pembroke to bring "Summer Science Camp!" to local youth. This four-day program, open to children ages 9–13, offers a fun and engaging introduction to a variety of scientific fields and projects.
Participants will have a rare opportunity to explore Canada’s national nuclear laboratories, discovering exciting work in environmental science, health science, engineering, physics, computing, and more. Each day will feature a mix of hands-on activities, interactive presentations, and outdoor exploration as well as visits to the unique laboratories at the Chalk River campus!
Bus transportation is provided from the Pembroke Memorial Centre (393 Pembroke Street West) to Chalk River Laboratories and back to the Arena at the end of each day. Children will be picked up promptly at 8:30 am from the PMC and returned by 4:00 pm. Please note that no extended hours are available.
Children will be required to wear comfortable clothing and bring with them their lunch, a hat, water bottle, sunscreen and a change of clothes.
Registration will open on May 5th at 9 a.m.
