Activities include: Building mini solar powered cars and racing them, baking brownies in solar ovens, creating a mini eco-city using recycled materials, planning social/environmental change projects, bike maintenance workshops, growing sprouts, gardening, exploring nature, outdoor games, sports, swimming, art, drama and hiking. The camps run Monday-Friday, July 5th to Aug 27th from 9am-4pm at UBC in Vancouver and Windsor Park Pavilion in Victoria. For camps that are currently listed as full second sessions will open up with high demand.

Each week has a different environmental theme such as energy, transportation, food,water, nature and eco-footprint. There are two added features this year, an environmental themed loot bag for each participant to encourage responsible environmental action at home and a social/environmental change project contest.

Personal and global change!

I just found out that the company I work for saved 45 tons of waste from going into the landfills last year!! That is a big number and am very proud to have been a part of the recycling program. We can all make a difference!! :)
