The world needs helpers, and few helpers are as essential as medical professionals who keep our communities healthy and safe. For parents raising curious kids who love science, problem-solving, and helping others, one question often comes up: how do we spark that interest early, in a way that’s meaningful and fun?
This summer, Vancouver families have an exciting new answer.
Medics Camp, a woman-owned Canadian company founded in the greater Toronto area, is a unique STEM-accredited program focused on medical science, and is launching its first Vancouver location hosted by Renaissance Academy of Learning. Designed to immerse kids in the world of healthcare through hands-on STEM learning, Medics Camp gives campers the chance to experience what a week in the life of a healthcare professional can look like in fun and creative ways.

Programs Available in Vancouver
Medics Camp offers day camp programs for children ages 6-12, with campers grouped by age to ensure the best possible learning experience. Program themes Discover and Explore can be attended in any order. They are stand-alone programs; no prior experience is required to enjoy them.
In Discover Theme, campers explore the basics of how the human body works and how healthcare professionals help people stay healthy.

Campers will:

- Explore how the heart, lungs, and immune system function

Dates: July 6–10, 2026
The Explore Theme program is designed for campers who want a more in-depth look at the human body and medical problem-solving. Children investigate multiple body systems, including the brain, digestion, skin, senses, kidneys, and nervous system, while stepping into the roles of specialized healthcare professionals.
Campers will:
- Conduct hands-on science experiments
- Solve medical-themed challenges as a team
- Practice different first aid concepts from Discover
