Well Fed aims get kids cooking from scratch, which we agree is an essential life skill! When our kids were young we loved teaching them new skills ourselves. Now that they are a bit older, we love it when they come home with new skills that they're excited to share with us. At the Well Fed studio, they teach hands-on technical skills in the kitchen from qualified instructors in a safe and fun environment.  Their 5-day summer camps run from 9 am – 1 pm for groups divided by age (7-12 and 13-18) at their convenient location in the Lower Lonsdale area of North Vancouver. The Well Fed philosophy is to create delicious foods that are good for you. We love that all of the food prepared at their camps is eaten for lunch and snacks are also provided each day so that parents don't have to pack any food!

NORTH SHORE BIKE PARK CAMPS
REGISTER ONLINE

Summer camps at North Shore Bike Park are the only ones of their kind anywhere in the lower mainland! They offer full and half-day ful-fulled camps with activities for kids aged 6-12. Campers will explore the indoor air-conditioned terrain of North Shore Bike Park, the Pump Tracks, Jump Lines, Street Zone, and Air Bags, and learn other skills to prepare them for outdoor trails and backcountry shredding.  They’ll take part in first aid bike maintenance, fun sports activities, and friendly games over the course of the week! This is a social camp, so although campers must be able to ride their bikes confidently enough to ride on local pedestrian/bike paths without training wheels, they do not need to be expert trail riders by any means. We love that families of campers can also enjoy the park during the week for 20% off entry so you can ride with your Lil Shredder at the end of the day!
