2026 SUMMER CAMP SCHEDULES- CLICK HERE!
This year, we are excited to offer 10 weeks of day camps for school aged kids to learn about marine science through hands-on activities, interactive experiments, and a whole lot of fun!
Each week of camp will run from 9am - 3pm, Monday to Friday, with the exception of stat holidays. We have two different camp offerings, Junior Explorers (K-Grade 2) and Senior Explorers (Grades 3-6). Ages are based on the grade they are in this spring. If you wish to register your child slightly outside of the range, please contact us.
We are excited to be partnering with Campbell River Whale Watching to offer two exclusive whale watching offerings during our Senior Explorers Camp! Our Senior Explorer Camps running from August 17-21 and August 31- Sept will feature a 3-hour zodiac whale watching tour with the Naturalists from Campbell River Whale Watching! Please note that there is a slight price increase for these weeks and a required age of Grades 3-6. There will be the option for a limited number of parent chaperones on the Whale Watching Tours ($75.00 fee). If you are interested in purchasing a chaperone spot, please indicate on the registration form and we will randomly select the spots from the pool of those interested.
