7 Reasons Why Your Kid Should Join A Sea Smart Summer Camp This Year!
When school’s out and summer's in, it's the perfect time to send your kids to a Sea Smart outdoor summer camp! Our camps offer a unique blend of fun and interactive learning that ignite your child's passion for the ocean. With a safe and inclusive environment, your child will feel at home exploring the wonders of marine life and building a deeper connection with nature.
Here are 7 reasons why your child should join our 2025 Vancouver Summer Camps:
1. Interactive Outdoor Learning Experiences
Forget textbooks—here, education is all about outdoor exploration and interactive activities! Our camps take place at the beautiful Kitsilano Beach and Trout Lake Park. Your child will get outside and explore nature in a fun and safe outdoor environment. They will have a chance to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of our ocean through activities, crafts, and games.
2. Building Social Connections
Beyond ocean exploration, our summer camps are an excellent place for children to forge new friendships. Our camps include an array of fun group activities, such as performing skits to competing in relay races, to participating in a shoreline cleanup, all of which create an environment to make lasting friendships and summer memories.
3. Creativity Inspired by Nature
Kids will have the opportunity to get creative by designing ocean logbooks and doing arts and crafts projects inspired by the nature around them. It’s a chance to express themselves while engaging deeply with the environment.
4. Commitment to Safety
The safety of our summer campers is our top priority. Our staff are trained in first aid, CPR and emergency procedures for various weather conditions, and our camps have a low educator-to-camper ratio (1:8), ensuring close supervision. You can feel assured knowing that your child’s safety is our top concern.
5. Girls-Only STEM Camps
To help close the gender gap in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), we offer inclusive camps that are open to youth identifying as girls, trans, genderqueer, gender non-binary, Two-Spirit, and gender questioning. Your child will have the opportunity to learn from a real-life female or nonbinary marine scientist, and hear exciting stories from the field. These camps aim to foster your child’s confidence and curiosity in STEM fields.
6. Empowering Future Environmental Leaders
Our 100% outdoor, hands-on curriculum inspires kids to connect with nature, and take action to protect it. Campers create their own conservation projects, becoming advocates for the environment in their families and communities.
7. Inclusive Opportunities for All
We believe every child deserves the chance to connect with nature, which is why our barrier-free financial aid program offers sliding scale payment options, including completely free camp spots. Learn more about our KELP Education Fund. Every child deserves to go to the beach!
Our summer camp experience offers a break from everyday routines, providing children with the chance to learn new things, meet new people, and develop a greater appreciation for the natural world. At Sea Smart Summer Camps, your child will gain enriching experiences and life skills that go beyond the standard summer activities.
Dive into a season of growth, learning, and connection.
