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 who are entering Grade 1 in September 2026. Please note that we cannot accept campers younger than this due to B.C. childcare laws.

Camp Hours: 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Recess & Lunch: Campers will go outside for a 30-minute recess and a one-hour long lunch each day.

Before & After Care: Geering Up offers supervision for campers who need to be dropped off before camp or picked up after camp ends. We offer before care from 8:15 AM - 9:00 AM Monday through Friday. We offer standard after care from 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM or the extended after care from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM. We offer both after care programs Monday through Friday. If provincial health restrictions due to COVID-19 change and Geering Up must cancel Before and After Care, participants will be contacted with advanced notice and refunded for this service in full.
*Only our UBC Vancouver and UBCO Kelowna locations offer Before & After Care.
