Our 5-day Forest Camps invite children to explore some of the Lower Mainland’s most beautiful natural spaces through small-group, hands-on adventures. Set in the rich ecosystems of Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, campers build a meaningful connection to the land while developing practical outdoor skills and confidence.
Each day blends exploration, play, and skill-building. Children learn to identify edible and medicinal plants, track wildlife, practice foundational survival skills, and engage in respectful wildcrafting, all guided by curiosity and a sense of wonder. The result is a week full of discovery, friendship, and discovery of the natural world.

“Our son very much enjoyed the personal attention that he receives from the instructors. This created a sense of belonging and made him feel special. The use of sense-engagement games, alongside inquiry-based learning, made the camp both intellectually and physically engaging and rewarding.” – Joyce, Summer Camp Parent
