Sea Smart summer camps

Sincerest thank you to all of our Ocean Heroes!

As we wrap up our summer camps this year, we want to give everyone a huge thank you! You are helping inspire the next generation of Ocean Heroes to keep our ocean healthy and thriving 🌊

Looking for the perfect Vancouver summer camp for you child?

Sea Smart’s outdoor summer camps are the perfect way for your child to spend their week this summer, exploring the wonders of the Pacific Northwest and the Salish Sea! Located at Kitsilano Beach and Trout Lake, our Sea Smart summer camps offer a unique opportunity for children ages 6 - 10 to dive into ocean education while having a blast outdoors.

Our summer camps for children feature exciting, hands-on activities that teach your child about marine life, conservation, and environmental stewardship. They’ll develop valuable scientific skills, discover fascinating creatures, and explore the environmental challenges our ocean and freshwater bodies face today. Plus, they’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to become advocates for the environment!

With a focus on fun and interactive learning, Sea Smart’s week-long summer camps offer your child the chance to make new friends while learning about marine ecosystems, developing problem-solving skills, and discovering the importance of protecting our oceans. These camps provide a safe, welcoming space for children to enjoy nature.
