UM Summer Camp 2022 - WizzKidz
This summer, through the UM Cares project, the Diversity & Inclusivity (D&I) Office is organizing the very first WizzKidz UM Summer Camp for primary school-aged kids of UM staff and students!
This week will take place from Monday 25 July – Friday 29 July 2022 and is for kids that want to learn something new in their summer holiday and discover for themselves the place where their parents/caregivers work or study!
This summer camp is made possible by the D&I Office/UM Cares and University Fund Limburg – SWOL.
Fun & Educational
The day programme consists of educational workshops and active and creative group activities that focus on cultural and language diversity of the participants: a great mix between fun & educational! The WizzKidz will be divided into two groups for the workshop activities: primary school groups 3 to 5 and 6 to 8 in the Netherlands, and grades 1 to 3 and 4 to 6 in Belgium.
Parents/caregivers are heartily welcome to attend the official opening of UM Summer Camp 2022 for kids, crew, and supervisors. On the last afternoon of camp, there will be a nice closing for all the WizzKids and their families.
This Summer Camp will be a real UM party, as the workshops are given by UM teachers, the supervision consists of UM employees and students, and the kids will visit a different UM location every day.
The participation fee in 2022 is € 75 per child. With this, we offer:
- 5-day programme from 8:30am till 5pm, fully provided by Maastricht University
- Supervision by UM students
-
Workshops and group activities in two age groups
- Food, drinks, and snacks
- A great experience and lifelong memories
Pre-registration and selection
Because this is the first year the University is organizing this event, we have made the conscious decision for the language of instruction to be Dutch. Does your child speak Dutch at school and/or at home? Then they can participate! The supervisors will, of course, be able to speak English and the programme pays attention to cultural diversity.
In addition, the group size for 2022 is limited to 30-32 children.
There is a pre-registration, after which a selection is made per lottery from which 30-32 children will be drawn and be allowed to participate.
Please note! Pre-registration is closed!
You will be notified by email whether your child(ren) have been selected to join WizzKids 2022 by the first week of May latest. If selected, you will also receive final instructions regarding registration and payment. Upon final registration, additional information is requested regarding allergies, permission, etc.
If you have any questions, please send us an email at umcares@maastrichtuniversity.nl
