Whether it’s trying a new sport, experimenting with science, or making new friendships, summer camp is an engaging experience for kids and teens of all ages. Collingwood School Camps in West Vancouver provides a safe and structured environment for students to step out of their comfort zones and build confidence in their abilities, while enjoying an easy-going summer filled with fun.

With plenty of camp options on the North Shore, here’s five reasons why you should pick Collingwood Camps:

1. Exceptional facilities & location

Collingwood School has modern classrooms, state-of-the-art sports fields and gymnasiums, outdoor play areas, and art studios set on our two beautiful campuses just minutes from Highway 1 in West Vancouver. 

2. Diverse programs

From athletic development to academic enrichment and from incredible indoor spaces to outdoor adventures, Collingwood’s summer camps provide unique experiences tailored to different interests and age groups. Our Little Explorers program is perfect for the youngest campers, while Junior and Senior Camps are designed for the elementary age group. For teens, Summer Learning Lab provides an academic environment for students going into Gr. 8-10 who want to broaden their skills in business, STEM, communications, leadership, and athletics. Beyond that, we have a flexible schedule with morning, afternoon, and full-day camp options, plus an added lunch program for the hungry campers who stay all day.

3. Inspiring educators

Our camp instructors are experienced educators and coaches who are passionate about creating a fun and inclusive environment for campers. Many of our camps are led by full-time Collingwood faculty!

4. Personal Growth

Summer is a wonderful time for children and youth to experience new routines, forge new relationships, and push the boundaries of their comfort zone. For older students, this could mean embracing a love of learning something new without the pressures of grades or deadlines. For younger students, practicing social skills and adaptability throughout the summer may help the transition to a new school year filled with new faces. Our small student-to-teacher ratio means our educators can help each student grow to their full potential. If personal development is something your child or teen wants to focus on, the Junior Leader and Leadership in Action programs aim to develop communication and conflict resolution skills, as well as confidence and creative problem-solving. 

5. A Summer of Fun and Social-Emotional Development 

Our emphasis on student wellbeing is key to making Collingwood a great place to learn. At Camp, having fun is one core competency we take seriously! We weave play and recreation into our programs so that campers leave with lasting positive memories they can look back on for years to come. Plus, most of our camps are unplugged from technology so students can be fully present and engaged.

There are so many things that set Collingwood School Camps apart and we are so thrilled you’re considering us for your family’s summer plans. Our programs are popular and some fill up quickly – don’t delay, register for camp today!
