Who are you as an organization?
Keep your child active with a well rounded selection of activities! We balance indoor and outdoor time, incorporate music, art, drama, science activities, games, and plenty of free time to explore! We prepare your child for the social and academic challenges of the future, offering Camps for 3-5 year olds, Before and After School Care, Music Classes and more.
What do you do differently or uniquely well?
"Our programs ensure that children are exposed to a wide variety of activities, so that they can develop an appreciation for music, art, crafts, hiking, walking, critical thinking, board games, card games, and many other areas. Each day combines structured time with unstructured time, to ensure that the children learn both to be creative and to follow predetermined activities. "
Who are your staff and counsellors?
"As a registered daycare, our staff must meet Fraser Health standards, which includes training in child development, first aid certifications, and age restrictions. We hire individuals passionate about the various activities, as this is the best way to help the children get excited about what they are doing. Our team has caregivers of a variety of ages. This diversity helps ensure that the children are supported emotionally and also kept active."
What do families need to know about registration?
"Registration is done from our website, and begins approximately 4 months in advance of any camp. You can contact us via telephone (778-893-9706) or refer to our website for more details about care and camps. "

Is Block 8 Academy technology free? Yes We do not permit children to have access to private devices during camp hours, unless the provision of the device is part of a care plan for a child with specific needs. We incorporate curriculum that has been developed worldwide, into some of our sessions. In these cases, we use the large screen on the wall to deliver content and facilitate discussions.

Hello Parents and Campers,
We made some great memories this past, summer, with our third summer of running camps for all 10 weeks of the break! We will do that again, and are set to add some more great memories to the stack this year.
At Block 8, we strive to give our campers a well rounded experience, combining physical, artistic, musical and lifeskill development. The focus is on fun, with a highly active program always planned. We provide our campers with opportunities to explore nature as well as indoor activities such as parkour, gymnastics, and chef school. Children are encouraged to form lasting bonds with their fellow campers and instructors. And I am available if you want to discuss your child's successes or challenges, or if you want to set up specific plans to accommodate your child.
We operate as a registered daycare, so families with support or subsidies can apply them to our camps.
Looking forward to a stellar year!
Cindy and Danita
