+ What is the Cancellation Policy? ​

Science Venture operates as a non-profit organization and incurs substantial fees for each cancellation. The later the cancellation, the harder it is for us to fill the spot with somebody on the waitlist. To offset these costs, our cancellation and transfer policy is as follows:

• More than 7 business days before the program’s start date: 100% refund of program price, minus a $50 cancellation fee.
• 7 business days or less before the program’s start date: 50% refund of program price.
• After 9am the Friday before the program’s start date: No refund provided.

Yes. Extended hours are from 8:00am - 9:00am & 4:00pm - 5:00pm.

Extended hours are an extra $45 for 5-day week and $36 for 4-day week. The cost covers both morning and afternoon coverage.

+ What about students in Grades 9-12?

For students entering grades 10-12 in the Fall of 2025 we have options! First and foremost, our Junior Counsellor Leadership Program is a great way to continue your passion for STEM while gaining experience in a team and classroom environment. For more information, please check out the Volunteer page.

Additionally, if you are keen to continue STEM learning with more in-depth dives into STEM studies, we will be hosting our Leadership in Engineering Design Summer Institute, for grades 9 to 12. For more information, please check out the High School Programs page.

+ Allergies ​

Science Venture is a "Nut Aware" facility. This means we kindly request families to refrain from sending campers with nut products in their bags. However, we cannot guarentee that nuts/peanuts will not be in our programs in your campers classroom. For this reason, please remind your camper not to share their food.

Epipens:
If your camper carries an epipen please fill out our Anaphylaxis Action Form and have it ready for day 1 of camp. Our team will review it and flag the bag that carries the epipen.
