Throughout BC, overnight camps offer kids unique experiences that introduce them to the wonders of nature, offer them one-of-a-kind immersions in learning experiences and engage them in activities and opportunities they might not otherwise encounter.
Overnight camps in BC include camps in heartland locations like Kelowna and Kamloops, on islands in the Strait of Georgia (from Gabriola and Gambier to South Pender), small towns like Mill Bay and Duncan, to major centers like Vancouver and Victoria.
Here’s a quick overview of the range of overnight camps in British Columbia:
Traditional overnight camps include wilderness out-tripping camps found throughout the province. There are several spectacular camps of this kind on Vancouver Island, for example. These camps give teens an experience of the wilderness and the chance to truly experience nature up close. Many traditional (less adventurous) overnight camps offer kids the opportunity for summer fun near the water.
Overnight sports camps give teens and kids the chance to focus on a specific sport (hockey and soccer schools are popular), while also allowing for traditional kids’ camp fare like campfires, swimming, canoeing. Some also focus on special needs such as ADHD.
Education camps run the gamut from STEM camps to science camps to coding camps.
