Summer camps for everyone

trevor.kenney — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 17:22:33 +0000

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge continues to be a hub of activity throughout the summer months thanks to a variety of summer camp options available on campus:

Life, You, Mathematics and Computer Science (LUMACS)

LUMACS exists to encourage interest in and awareness of Mathematics and Computer Science as a part of everyday life. In addition to being important in almost every field of work, they play a huge part in cool things like movie special effects, in everyday things like how we talk with our friends, and in amazing things like space exploration. Just think how exciting it would be to help design a spaceship to visit Mars, or a new iPhone, or a program to help kids in Africa learn. And it's not hard, because we use math and computer science ideas every day – we just don't realize it.

Sport & Rec

Sport & Recreation Services camps offer elementary aged children and young adults the opportunity to learn and broaden their horizons acquiring fundamental skills in a variety of activities which range from wall climbing, swimming, gymnastics, hiking to sport specific and to our ever popular multi-activity camp. Your child has an opportunity to participate in all these different activities. All of our instructors encourage and promote social interaction skills, emphasizing cooperation and individual improvement rather than competition. Participants are grouped relative to their age and physical ability levels. This ensures all youth are learning and challenged in an appropriate way.

Conservatory of Music

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Conservatory of Music offers music instruction to musicians of all ages and levels. During the summer months, the Conservatory schedules programs that are exclusive to the summer semester. Make sure to add these to your summer plans: Rock On! – a rock camp for all musicians with 2 years experience (ages 9-18). This camp also includes a beginner guitar component; Let's Sing – a junior voice camp (for ages 6-8 or 9-12); Kindermusik Adventures – music and movement for 18m-3yrs and 3-5yrs; and our most intensive summer workshop, Southern Alberta Vocal Experience (SAVE), for ages 13-16 and 17-23. Check us out online, call us at 403-329-2304 or email at music.conservatory@uleth.ca to find the program that's right for you.

Destination Exploration

Destination Exploration at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge provides programs to encourage interest and participation in science for children grades one through nine. We offer Learning Quest Science Camps during Reading Week and throughout July and August. We also offer programs throughout the school year including our Bunsen and Beaker and Little Elements Science Clubs.

Youth Science creates recycling initiative

trevor.kenney — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:05:37 +0000

The act of recycling is beneficial in the first place. Recycling for a cause is even more worthy.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Youth Science Program is pleased to announce the initiation of a new recycling program on campus that also doubles as a fundraiser. They will now be accepting used print cartridges and cell phones for recycling. For each qualifying item, they then earn a rebate to be used to purchase necessary supplies for the Youth Science Program.

Drop boxes are currently located in Kainai House and Piikani House Lobbies and the Airport Lounge. More drop boxes will soon be positioned in the Atrium and Students' Union Building.

Please note that all toners purchased through Materials Management must go back to Materials Management.

The Youth Science Program urges people to think of them before they throw out used ink cartridges or cell phones. It's an opportunity to raise funds for a worthy cause and protect the environment.

For more information on this new recycling initiative, or to request a drop box in a certain area of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, contact Kristy Burke at 403-382-7161.
