We hope your child enjoyed their week of camp at Science Venture here at the University of Victoria. We  would love it if you would share a bit about you and your child's experience with us by completing a short (5-15 minute) online survey, hosted by Actua. Your responses will help us capture the success of the week and improve our camps in the future!

Actua provides training, resources and support to a national network of member organizations offering science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education programs.

Please Stand By as we resolve our Online Registration System Issues

Due to high server load during the opening of our camp registration on April 1st, the Science Venture registration site experienced technical difficulties which affected some aspects of our system. As a result, we have currently disabled all payment functionality of the system until such time as we are confident that we  have resolved these issues.

While the payment functionality is currently inactive, all other registration functions are still working properly and registration remains open.

Camp Registration Opens on April 1st!

Join us for the Winter 2016 Clubs Season!

Science Venture is excited to announce our Winter 2016 Venture and SPARCS Clubs!

Starting January 15, we will be offering 8 fun-filled clubs for participants in Grade 1-9. These Clubs include:

  • Mini Venture (1/2)
  • Junior Venture (3/4)
  • Senior Venture (5/6)
  • Techsplorers Junior (3/4)
  • Techsplorers Senior (5/6)
  • Codemakers: Retro Gaming (7-9)
  • Venture Girls (3/4)
  • Venture Girls: Techsplorers (5/6)

While many of the names remain the same, the curriculum will be brand new; filled with the awesome hands-on, minds-on experiments you have come to know and love from Science Venture. We have taken your recommendations from last months survey and have created what we are sure will be an even stronger Winter Clubs program.

Our SPARCS Clubs will be focussing more on the software this semester, looking at the many programming languages that are being used in technology today. This will include a great new Codemakers: Retro Gaming Club in which participants will have the opportunity to program their own text-based adventure game on a portable gaming arduino system.
