STEM Explorations 4/5: Researchers

Are you curious about the world and eager to unravel its interconnected complexities? Our STEM camps invite you to explore and learn about the four disciplines of STEM—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. From tackling engineering challenges to diving into mind-boggling science experiments, our hands-on, playful, and interdisciplinary activities make learning an adventure. Welcome, Junior Researchers!

Join this camp if you have a passion for exploring and want to investigate the interconnectedness of the fields of STEM. No tests, no pressure... just hands-on STEM fun!

This program is intended for participants entering Grades 4 and 5 in September 2026.

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.

Activities: In our camps we will have a variety of activities including engineering building challenges, coding projects, experiments, creative design projects, and more.

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.
