Full bursaries are available if you qualify. You must contact discovery@unb.ca to apply before registration. Spaces will be saved for each camp for those receiving bursaries.

Should campers with a bursary not attend a camp without cancelling two weeks prior, they will be removed from the list of any future camps or put on a waiting list status.

Photos and videos of campers will only be taken if Discovery Camps are given permission on the waiver signed by the parent/guardian for the purpose given. These will only be taken for either:

• the weekly slideshow/video at the end of the week to share with the campers and families/ for program activities (i.e. Art).
• to promote UNB Saint John Discovery Camps on websites, news releases, brochures, pamphlets, or other marketing material.

Participants wishing to withdraw from a Discovery program session and wish to get a full refund, must do so in writing to the UNB Discovery Program discovery@unb.ca at least two weeks (14 days) before the camp begins.

A full refund of tuition minus a $75 processing fee will be issued if withdrawals are made after this date up to noon, the Sunday before the camp starts (this will allow us to allow a camper on the waiting list).

There are no refunds for withdrawals made during camp activities, except for medical or special circumstances (i.e. bereavement).

The Discovery summer camp is designed for campers and youth between grades 4 - 10.

The camp runs for eight weeks during the summer, typically from the second week of July to the last week in August. Exact dates may vary each year, so it's best to check our website or contact us for the current year's schedule.

The camp offers a diverse range of educational activities covering various subjects such as Engineering, Maker/STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math), Science, Health Sciences, Entrepreneurship, Gaming, Minecraft (education) and Movie Making. We provide a well-rounded experience to promote learning, creativity and personal growth.

The program runs from Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Drop-off and pick-up times are between 8 and 9 a.m. for morning drop-off and between 4 and 5 p.m. for afternoon pick-up.

We cannot offer supervision before 8 a.m. or after 5 p.m.

The safety and well-being of campers are our top priorities. We maintain a high staff-to-camper ratio and conduct background checks on all staff members.

Our facilities are regularly inspected for safety compliance and we follow strict protocols for activities involving physical or outdoor elements. We expect that our campers, UNB Instructors and camp facilities are treated with care and respect.

Campers will review all rules on the first day of each week of camp with their camp Instructors.

We require that a parent/guardian is available and reachable by phone during camp hours should an issue arise. If a child needs to leave camp for any reason, the parent/guardian will be required to pick the child up and take them home.

Our staff are not trained to administer any form of medication. We do not have a secure storage facility for medications in the camp facility and we highly discourage campers from carrying medications on their person.

Should your child require medication we request that this be done before arriving at camp, during a lunch break or after camp.

Lifesaving medications such as Epi-Pens and Ventolin Puffers are allowed, however, campers are responsible for carrying them wherever they go.

Registration for the camp can be done through our website. We have an online registration form that requires basic information about the camper and the selected weeks of attendance. Payment options are also provided on the website.

Yes, but the camp fee includes lunches and snacks. We provide nutritious snacks and meals to keep the campers energized throughout the day. Families can send their foods if they are nut-free or shell-fish free.

Participants wishing to withdraw from a Discovery program session and wish to get a full refund, must do so by telephone or in writing to the UNB Discovery Program at least two weeks (14 days) before the camp begins.

A full refund of tuition minus a $75 processing fee will be issued if withdrawals are made after this date up to noon, the Sunday before the camp starts (this will allow us to contact a camper on the waiting list). There are no refunds for withdrawals made during camp activities, except for medical or special circumstances (i.e. bereavement). (Summer 2024 Policy).

Each camp session has reserved spaces for those who are applying for a bursary. Should campers with a bursary not attend a camp without cancelling 2 weeks prior notice, they will be removed from the list of any future camps or put on a waiting list status for 2024 camps.

We offer multi-session registration discounts. Full bursaries are available if you qualify. You must reach out to discovery@unb.ca  or ask to speak to the Discovery Coordinator at 506-608-7323.
