In this time-travelling adventure, campers will explore Saskatchewan’s incredible history through engaging learning opportunities, hands-on activities, and games. Time travellers will visit various locations across the University of Saskatchewan campus to learn about the ancient past, the recent past and present day. They will also travel back more than 6000 years to learn about the history of Wanuskewin Heritage Park and participate in activities related to the traditional learning and cultural heritage of Indigenous Northern Plains cultures. Campers will finish off the week visiting the new Health in Space exhibit at the DCC, create their own time capsule, and make exciting predictions for the future!
Please Note: This camp may include a field trip (by school bus) to Wanuskewin Heritage Park on the Wednesday of each week. The field trip is dependent on funding and it will not increase the cost of camp. If funding is received, registrants will be contacted as soon as possible and given the option to have their child participate in the field trip. Those who do not wish to participate will have the option to have their registration fully refunded. In the event that funding is not received, an instructor from Wanuskewin Heritage Park will join camp at the DCC to share information and participate in activities with the group.
