Discover The Best of Richmond This Summer
Our Richmond summer camp dives into the hidden gems and local landmarks that define our community. From the historic charm of Steveston to the city's most vibrant community hubs, campers explore the very best of Richmond through daily excursions to iconic destinations, including:
South Arm Outdoor Pool & Steveston Outdoor Pool: We beat the summer heat with scheduled swims at Richmond’s premier outdoor aquatic centers, famous for their high-energy atmosphere and waterslide facilities.
Minoru Centre Pool & Watermania: Campers enjoy world-class indoor aquatic features, including a wave pool, waterslides, and massive swim spaces, ensuring the fun continues regardless of the temperature.
King George/Cambie Community Park: We enjoy the spray park, modern playgrounds, and lush green spaces for a diverse range of high-energy outdoor recreation.
Indoor Backup Plan: If the weather calls for a break from the outdoors—whether it's heavy rain or wildfire smoke—we transition our activities to places such as local indoor pools, playgrounds, and attractions 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 lower 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.
