About Vancouver

Kids camps in Vancouver run year round, with the widest selection in the region across summer, spring break, winter break, and Pro-D days. Options cover sports, arts, science and technology, music, dance, outdoor adventure, and multi-activity day camps, spread across every neighbourhood from Kitsilano and Point Grey through Mount Pleasant and out to Killarney and Hastings. Because the city is large, there are usually camps near you within a short drive or transit ride. The Vancouver Park Board runs camps out of community centres citywide, and independent studios, clubs, and academies add hundreds more options on top of that.

Start with your closest community centre. Park Board camps are usually the most affordable option.

Registration for city run camps opens on set dates and popular sessions sell out quickly. Note the date and register that morning.

Check drop off and pick up times against your work schedule, and ask whether extended care is offered.

Consider specialty camps if your child has a strong interest. Vancouver has enough providers to support focused programs in most areas.

Ask how camps group kids by age, especially multi-activity programs accepting a wide range.

Traffic varies significantly by time of day. A camp that looks close on a map may not feel close at 8am.

Vancouver's size is its advantage for camps. Most families can find several options within their own neighbourhood, and the Park Board community centre network provides an accessible, lower cost starting point before looking at private providers.
