PERU – Registration for Carus Corporation’s annual Summer Science Camp will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, April 27. The free camp, which is open to students entering 6th grade in the fall, will take place June 4-8.
This year, campers may be in for a treat – a chance to learn inside St. Bede Academy’s brand-new STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) addition. St. Bede will once again house the camp, with the school’s Chemistry Department Head, Dan Fitzpatrick, leading as camp director.
Carus is also working with the Canal Corridor Association to bring back Camp Day at the Canal. Always popular, canal day offers campers a science-filled canal boat ride and mule meet and greet.
Camp runs from 9 a.m.-noon each day with a graduation ceremony taking place on Friday, June 8. Families are invited to celebrate the end of camp with their kids, as each student receives a camp certificate.
To register a child, please call Kegan Pakula at (815) 224-6535 no earlier than 8:30 a.m. on Friday, April 27. Spaces are limited. Campers are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Parents who call before 8:30 a.m. will be asked to call back during registration hours.
Teachers wanted
Carus also hires local teachers to help administer camp. Any teachers interested in applying for a camp position are asked to please call the number above for more information.
