science explorations and engineering explorations are not-for-profit summer day camps, based out of the Faculty of Science & Engineering at York University. With the goal of increasing scientific literacy and appreciation in our community; we offer fun, hands-on activities that engage and encourage youth to learn and explore topics in science and engineering. The explorations camps' affiliation with the Faculty of Science and Engineering provides access to a variety of resources, including our own York Observatory, an array of laboratories, a greenhouse, conserved forest areas, and a variety of knowledgeable faculty, staff, and students who are always eager to contribute their expert advice and pass along their fascination with science and engineering!
We are situated at the Keele Campus of York University, located at 4700 Keele Street, in the Lumbers building. For a map of our campus location, please click here.
Registration is now open HERE.
