Explore Richmond’s Greatest Beaches, Forests, Playgrounds, Parks, and Pools
Our Richmond summer camp dives into the hidden gems and local landmarks that make this community so special. From the historic charm of Steveston to the natural wonders of the shoreline, we explore the best Richmond has to offer on daily out-trips to places such as:
Iona Beach Regional Park: We explore the unique jetty and sandy shoreline, where the natural landscape provides plenty of opportunity for active, outdoor play.
South Arm Outdoor Pool and Steveston Community Pool: We stay cool during the summer heat with swimming sessions at these Richmond outdoor pools, known for their fun atmosphere and great facilities.
Richmond Nature Park: We venture through the scenic bog forest trails and discovery paths, offering campers a unique opportunity to connect with local wildlife and nature.
Cambie Community Park: We utilize the Cambie Spray Park, playground, and green spaces for a full range of outdoor recreation activities to keep active and refreshed.
Indoor Backup Plan: If the Richmond weather calls for a break from the outdoors—whether it's heavy rain or wildfire smoke—we transition our activities to local indoor community spaces 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.
