Summer Camps

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.
