If your kids are happiest outside - climbing, exploring & burning off energy - Grouse Mountain summer camps offer some of the most exciting ways to spend the summer in Metro Vancouver. Just a short drive from the city, Grouse offers a true “getaway from it all” experience where kids can unplug, connect with nature & build confidence in a stunning alpine setting.
From classic outdoor adventure camps to skill-building mountain bike camps and lessons, Grouse Mountain delivers summer experiences that feel both active and meaningful. It’s the kind of place where kids come home tired, happy, and full of stories about their exciting day on the mountain!
Grouse Mountain’s Mountain Adventure Camps are perfect for kids who love to explore, move, and try new things. These traditional-style day camps are packed with outdoor activities like hiking forest trails, learning about local wildlife, playing group games, and discovering the natural environment in a fun and engaging way.
To help every child feel comfortable and challenged, camps are thoughtfully grouped by age and stage:
- Pathfinders Camp (for kids born 2018-2020)
- Alpine Blazers Camp (for kids born 2013-2017)
- Extreme Adventure Camp (for kids born 2011-2015)
- Mountain Goats Hiking Camp (for kids born 2011-2015)
- After Camp Add-On (for camp registrants born 2011-2020)
Each day brings something new, with experienced leaders guiding kids through hands-on activities that build teamwork, resilience, and a deeper connection to the outdoors. These week-long, multi-day camps run daily from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, with an optional After Camp Add-On available until 5:00 pm for families needing a later pickup. We love how these camps balance structured programming with plenty of time to explore and just be kids - running, laughing, and making new friends along the way. And of course, the adventure starts with the iconic gondola ride up the mountain—a daily highlight that never gets old!
