Sea Scientists

Program provided in partnership with The Starfish Canada

*This camp is open to youth identifying as girls, trans, genderqueer, gender non-binary, Two-Spirit, and gender questioning. We are working to close the gender gap in science-related fields!


Ahoy, future scientists! This week-long camp is designed for girls* who are curious, adventurous, and ready to dive into the world of STEM. At Sea Scientists, campers will dive into a week of salt-sprayed science, wild beach quests, and tide pool mysteries, right on the shores of the Salish Sea. With sand beneath their toes and curiosity in their hearts, girls will discover sea creatures, solve eco-missions, and develop the skills and confidence to pursue STEM opportunities later in life, to close the gender gap in science-related fields.

Fun activities include:

  • Science experiments
  • Shoreline exploration
  • Beach clean-ups
  • Action projects
Register today and venture into the world of ocean science with this hands-on camp!
