Summer offers a great opportunity to be un-scheduled, low-stress, and wild. And nature is the key! Creativity, nature, and play are the inherent rights of every child. Learning happens everywhere, and it happens best when children are immersed in authentic environments and situations. And Saplings Outdoor Program Summer Camps for kids aged 3-12 in Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Lions Bay offer just this!
The main purpose of the Saplings Outdoor Program is to provide children with an opportunity to connect with nature in a safe & enjoyable way. Nature is a child’s best education and promotes the unhurried, healthy unfolding of childhood. They offer licensed full-day preschool, after-school programs, a K-4 Learning Centre in North Vancouver, plus incredible summer day camps for the adventurous, creative, nature-loving child!

NEW ADDITION FOR THIS YEAR!
Saplings Outdoor Program is excited to include its new Saplings STEM program as a new addition to some of their camp offerings this year! This program is designed to introduce students to different aspects of engineering. With a focus on hands-on learning, critical thinking, and collaboration, students will progress from basic design and construction to more complex mechanical systems. This will beautifully complement the outdoor exploration and natural curiosity that is fostered in the Saplings Outdoor Program.
