Women in Nuclear (WiN)-Canada sponsors one week of CAMP GEMS for 25 girls at the Bruce Power Visitors’ Centre.

Day One was all about fun! We began the day with some ice breakers so that we could all get to know one another. We talked a little about our week-long project that will be presented to parents on Friday. It’s called SCIENCE FASHIONISTAS…stay tuned to Friday’s update for details on what the girls created!

We worked with dry ice and learned all about sublimation. Did you know that the melting point of dry ice is -78.5 degrees C? Yikes that is cold!

We talked a bit about sharing the universe and looked at some soil samples to determine which sample contained a living organism. We also did a few crafts at the end of the day, played a little soccer and frisbee and had a great pizza lunch.

All in all a very successful first day at camp! Can’t wait until DAY 2!!
