Kids sitting on a log at Trout Lake | Buddies in Bloom | Forest Preschool in East Vancouver

Summer Camps 2026

Location: We are located at John Hendry Park (Trout Lake, Vancouver BC), a beautiful and accessible location for families in East Vancouver and surrounding neighbourhoods. The park is convenient via bus routes and has drive access with less traffic congestion. 

Ages: Our program is for children aged 2.5 to 5 years old.

Note: Due to our outdoor setting and limited facilities, all children must be potty trained. Nature pees are encouraged and guided, and public washrooms are available for bowel movements.

Monthly Themes & Special Guests: Each month brings a new learning theme with weekly sub-themes explored through crafts, songs, and movement. Once a month, we host a special workshop, like a fun science experiment or a guest artist. We love inviting parent volunteers to share their passions, too! Rest assured, our educators are always present to ensure safety and supervision during workshops.
