If campers tell you something like how much they enjoyed camp, how the week has affected them etc. please write it down and email it to minds@ucalgary.ca These "stories" are something that could be included in annual reports and can come in handy when asking companies for funding. (See example below.)
"If they could only choose one camp to go to in the summer, all of my kids say MIM would be it--it has been so great for them, and has been a big part of their science programs over the past 10 years."

“It is just fun! A week of construction and programming? That is just great!”

“My favourite activity this week was building a working machine that uses hydraulics. It was a challenge as we were not able to use glue and making the hydraulics was a difficult thing to do. Also, it was epic! It was fanominal [phenomenal]!”

“My favourite activity was DNA test. We mushed up strawberries and put chemicals in it. The leaders could explain how the chemical reactions happen.”

“My child loves activities that involve science and creativity, and also appreciates being around like minded children. He enjoyed the ability to work on some of the projects on his own, and enjoyed group work when he was with groups that encouraged equal participation. Group work is an important skill to develop, and the balance of individual and group work was ideal.”

“My daughter learned a lot. She found the counsellors encouragement and excitement about science to be contagious and I think she learned a lot about herself as well as the subject matter."
