Explore North Vancouver's Beautiful Beaches, Forests, Playgrounds, Parks, and Pools
Our North Vancouver summer camp explores the vast rainforests and beaches of the North Shore. We move between beautiful beaches, towering forest canopies, and local pools with daily out-trips to places such as:
Deep Cove and Cates Park: We head here for beach days, shoreline exploration, and a fun day of outdoor recreation with stunning views of the Indian Arm.
Lynn Canyon and Capilano Canyon: We venture through the lush forest trails of these iconic canyons for an immersive day of outdoor discovery.
Local Beaches, Pools, and Playgrounds: We stay active and cool by visiting North Vancouver’s best outdoor spaces and aquatic centres, perfect for swimming and summer fun.
Indoor Backup at Go Bananas and Local Pools: If the North Vancouver weather calls for a break from the outdoors—whether it's heavy rain or wildfire smoke—we move our activities indoors to local indoor pools or head to Go Bananas for indoor fun.

The Rainforest Philosophy
Our non-profit camps prioritize nature-immersion and active, outdoor play. We are participant-centred, following the unique interests and curiosity of every camper to spark self-discovery. We strive to cultivate a community built on kindness, respect, empathy, and connection.
As a screen-free environment, we trade devices for discovery. Our team is composed of career professionals, including Teachers, EAs, and Lifeguards, who bring maturity and expertise to the field. We aim to maintain low 1:5 ratios at our summer camps (supported by dedicated volunteers) to ensure optimal safety and mentorship.
We seek to empower, inspire, and create community through every adventure.
Our goal is to create the safest, healthiest, and most respectful community possible. We have a zero-tolerance policy for physical, verbal, and emotional violence. If a camper is violent, their family will be called to pick them up and the rest of their camp registration will be cancelled and refunded.
Camperships Available
We want to encourage kids and youth who positively impact their communities and demonstrate kindness, empathy, and respect.
