Day Camps

1
 

Saskatchewan Science Centre Day Camps are offered on select school holidays during the school year.  We also offer very popular week long summer day camps during July and August.

Campers experience themed activities and experiments, science demonstrations, award-winning exhibits, an IMAX film that might even be in 3D, and ample time to run around and stretch their legs. They’ll also meet new friends and create memories that will stick around for a lifetime.

All camps, including School's Out Day Camps and Summer Day Camps, include:

  • Exciting experiments and activities that are both educational and entertaining
  • Exploration on the Science Centre exhibit floor
  • An IMAX film
  • Highly-trained camp leaders
  • A great staff to camper ratio: one staff for every ten campers
  • Real science and real fun!


Parents please pack the following for all camps:  

  • NUT and PEANUT free lunch and two snacks
  • Indoor shoes
  • Appropriate clothing to go outside

If your camper is shy, we can register your child with a friend and we will make sure to include them in the same group.

Book your child into one of these exciting day camps by calling 791-7943 or toll free at 1-800-667-6300, extension 3.
