Science Camps in District

Science North kicks off its summer camps in the Rainy River district today in Atikokan.

Staff Scientist Natalie Crinklaw says the week-long camp is made up of three different ones for different age groups.

"For the middle age group, 6 to 8, there's going to be a discovery camp," says Crinklaw. "There's a whole bunch of different things going on and each day going to have a different science theme. For the older kids, 9 to 11, is the Gizmo camp. They're going to find out how things work and they get to build their own rocket."

There is also a nature camp aimed at youngsters 4 and 5.

A similar camp will be held in Fort Frances in August.
