About Vancouver
Outdoor programs for kids in Vancouver span ocean, forest, and urban park environments, with options including kayaking and paddling at English Bay and False Creek, nature programs in Pacific Spirit Park and Jericho Beach, forest school programs in East Vancouver green spaces, and multi-day wilderness camps accessible from the city. The variety is greater than in any other city on the platform, reflecting Vancouver's unique position between mountains, ocean, and urban forest.
Ocean and paddling programs are uniquely available in Vancouver — kayaking and sailing classes for kids are accessible from multiple locations
Pacific Spirit Park and the ravines of East Vancouver host several nature-based and forest school programs for younger children
Urban farm and food programs at places like UBC Farm are a distinctly Vancouver option for kids interested in sustainability
Check weather policies carefully — good outdoor programs run in all conditions and should be explicit about their approach
Vancouver's geography — ocean to the west and south, mountains to the north, forests in between — gives outdoor programs a range of environments that no other Metro Vancouver city can match.
