The 2023 STEM Camp Program will focus on Species at Risk in the South Slave Region. In partnership with the Aurora College Research Institute and Parks Canada, the youth will experience guided day trips into the Wood Buffalo National Park to look for “Species at Risk” using their binoculars, field journals and nature guides. They will get the chance to use their Freshwater Testing Kit to learn about the water of the Slave River and how important water stewardship is to the fish and other species that rely on the river for life. The teens will develop and build a bumblebee habitat that will provide the flowers to produce the nectar for the bees and nesting homes for the bees. They will learn how the bees behave and reproduce in the wild. Their field guide will highlight what they can do to help conserve and protect these important creatures.

More information and registration dates will follow and be posted on the Salt River First Nation Facebook page as soon as it’s available.
