Vancouver – Pearson Field Education Center will host half-day camps for youth in grades 1 through 4 during winter break. Children will test their aeronautical skills at the whirly-gig table and engineer structures with clothespins and craft sticks. Other activities include building a wave bottle and making it rain in a jar.
“This is an exciting opportunity for budding scientists to spend the morning with us and explore aviation through STEM-based, hands-on activities,” said Deborah Bessette, aviation programs coordinator at the Pearson Field Education Center. “Glider building is always popular.”
The first session will run from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Dec. 20 through Friday, Dec. 23. The second session will run from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Dec. 27 through Friday, Dec. 30. Cost is $40 a day or $140 for four consecutive days.
