Terranaut Club is a registered Canadian charity that specializes in pay-what-you-can STEM exploration and environmental education programming for girls and gender diverse youth (“girls+”) ages 9-18 who live in the Maritimes.
Welcoming our Interim Director Hunter Hogan
We’re excited to share that Hunter Hogan has stepped into the role of Interim Director at Terranaut Club for the 2026 season! Our Founder and Executive Director Julia Whidden will be taking maternity leave this year after 8 years at the helm of our small but mighty organization.
A familiar face in our community, Hunter has been an integral part of Terranaut Club for the past five summers. We look forward to this next chapter under her enthusiastic guidance!
Coming Up
Terranaut Club is on a winter break! Spring programming is expected to resume in May with several day-long field trips. Overnight summer programs will open for nominations at the start of April, and a tentative list of programs can be found here.
Please note that due to our Executive Director being on maternity leave, we will be offering fewer programs than usual this 2026 season.

Testimonials
“Connecting with other women and girls passionate about STEM has re-ignited her interest in studying science at university. The hands-on activities, from a shark dissection to analyzing pH levels in water, and community-building events, clearly show that Terranaut Club engages participants wonderfully. We’re grateful to the staff for their leadership and connection with our teen!”
— Evelyn J., mother of Jade
“I can’t say enough about what Terranaut Club has done for both of my girls! The confidence they inspire with the experiences they offer is incredible.”
— Sheri B., mother of Faith and Kate
“This organization is more than just a camp, it is a safe space where everyone can feel included, regardless of background or orientation. Volunteering with Terranaut Club gave me the confidence to finish my Masters degree and proved to me that my voice matters. The best word I can use to describe volunteering for Terranaut Club is privilege. I felt immense privilege at every program I was fortunate enough to attend and through every interaction with the kids. Volunteering with them shaped who I am today.”
