The Young Newtons Club, the official math and science club of Rainbow Institute of Learning, Inc. held the Math-Sci Camp 2014, Feb. 14-15, at the school grounds. The activity is the first camp hosted by the club and is also the school's first math and science themed camp. Geared towards appreciation of mathematics and science, the camp held activities that will help improve math and science skills.

Preschool and elementary students from Grades 1-3 participated in the day camp in the morning of Feb. 14. Their activities started with the presentation of the groups followed by lectures and games. Different groups received different lectures about the body's main organs as well as the mathematics of date and time.

As a culminating activity, the participants prepared food together and cooked them on a grill with the help of their teacher-facilitators.

The afternoon session was for Grades 4-6 and secondary students. Each group prepared their campsite and then listened to lectures by their leaders. The lectures were followed by other activities and games. Then, dinner was cooked over a grill by facilitators and participants.

One of the highlights of the event was the Search for Ginoo at Binibining Kalikasan 2014. Lester Desoloc and Frecanzie Nogrado were crowned winners of the environment-themed event.

Participants woke up early the next day for a dance exercise and the awarding ceremonies.
