It’s that time of year! Metro Vancouver Summer Camps are open for registration; you want to move quickly to grab a spot for your child!
July and August are the months packed with long, hot days, and oodles of new experiences and opportunities. Kids can play with friends, head out on new adventures, and try a program or activity that has always piqued their interest.

Fortunately, Metro Vancouver has so many amazing summer camps for kids. Arts, sports, science, you name it, there is a camp to captivate your child. Family Fun Vancouver is delighted to present our 2025 Summer Camp Guide!
