Winter, Spring, and Summer Break Daycamps

An extension of the licensed Out of School care program, we are thrilled to offer our popular daycamp programs for children 5-12 years. These programs are geared to children entering into grade 1 (must of completed Kindergarten) through age 12. While the children are registered according to age group (5-8 years, 9-12 years), some of the days are spent together. Your child will visit key attractions and participate in many special activities and theme days. Program fees include transportation and admission costs. Consent forms must be completed by the legal parent or guardian. 

AM Care
AM Care is for families who require care before the daycamp begins.  The daycamp is a pre-requisite for AM Care.

PM Care
PM Care is for families who require care after the daycamp is over.  The daycamp is a pre-requisite for PM Care. Program fees include an afternoon snack. 

Registration
Please note that registration is not a guarantee, that our program will be able to accommodate your child in our program. We need to ensure that we can accommodate each child based on their needs and be sure that it will fit within our program, this is at the discretion of the staff. If you are unsure if we will be able to accommodate your child, please contact Kelly Bodkin, kelly.bodkin@vancouver.ca or Corine Hamilton, corine.hamilton@vancouver.ca before registering your child.

Special emphasis will be placed on the use of the Equitas program, Play It Fair! which is an innovative program implemented in our daycamps and after school care program which increases children aged 6-12 understanding of human rights, respect for diversity and peaceful conflict resolution. The Play It Fair! Toolkit contains interactive age appropriate activities and games that reinforce the positive values and fundamental principles of human dignity and equality set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The games and activities in the toolkit provide a starting point for children to discuss issues in their lives and work together to find ways to promote inclusion, respect, fairness, acceptance and cooperation. This unique approach succeeds because the children are having so much fun that they don’t even realize they are learning!
