The City of Pembroke and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) are teaming up to offer a science camp for local children during the summer of 2026. This recurring program gives students in Pembroke, Ontario, a chance to learn about technology and nature through hands-on projects while they are on their summer break.
The camp is designed for children between the ages of 9 and 14. It combines classroom-style learning with outdoor activities to help kids stay busy and learn new skills during their school holidays.
Students will participate in activities involving robotics, chemistry, and engineering projects. They will also learn how to take water samples and study local wildlife and the environment to understand how the world around them works.
Some participants may also have the opportunity to visit the research site in nearby Chalk River to see how professional scientists work. While CNL experts provide the lesson plans and scientific equipment, the city is in charge of signing up students and managing the daily logistics of the program.
This initiative is part of a long-term goal to get more local youth interested in science and engineering careers. It offers families an educational option for recreation that uses the scientific expertise found right in their own region.
