NIC Youth Academy’s 2023 summer camp schedule will be released next week

Thursday, February 9, 2023 at 6:59 AM

The NIC Youth Academy’s 2023 summer camp schedule will be released next week - just ahead of Family Day.

The Academy says the camps offer youth in Campbell River, the Comox Valley and Port Alberni, aged 9 to 14, an early edge in foundational science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) skills in a fun summer camp environment on campus. Youth learn in NIC’s science and computer labs, classrooms and green spaces while participating in hands-on educational activities, games and challenges that combine indoor and outdoor learning. Last summer, Youth Academy offered coding, engineering, design and robotics camps. NIC youth & community outreach liaison Ali Sandholm expects youth from more than 20 North Island communities to visit an NIC campus this year and join the fun.
