January 11, 2026

A number of organizations and attractions in Metro Vancouver offer Spring Break camps for children and teenagers during the school holidays in March.

In 2026 Spring Break runs from March 16th to 27th.

Spring Break Camps for Kids in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland

Attractions that offer Spring Break camps for kids most years include Timberline Ranch in Maple Ridge, Fantasy Farms in Chilliwack, Presentation House Theatre in North Vancouver, the Vancouver Maritime Museum in Vancouver, and Place des Arts in Coquitlam. There are also special activities at Britannia Mine Museum near Squamish, as well as events at other places too.

The designed age ranges for Spring Break camps vary, but generally they’re geared towards children either in elementary school or the beginning of high school. Keep reading below for details about each of the various camps.

Place des Arts

Place des Arts offers all kinds of programs and events for kids at different times of the year. Over Spring Break, the education centre in Coquitlam hosts art camps for various age groups.

There are full-day camps for kids in Kindergarten to Grade 5. Those take place from 9:00 am to 3:35 pm on Monday to Friday during the first week of Spring Break. Half-day camps are also available for older children in Grades 6 to 9. Morning sessions start at 9:00 am and run until noon. Afternoon sessions, meanwhile, start at 12:35 pm and run until 3:35 pm. The second week of Spring Break is when kids in Kindergarten to Grade 2 can enjoy half-day camps on weekday mornings as well.

Topics and activities covered in each camp depend on the age group. For example, younger children get to dance, paint, learn origami, play guitar, and so much more. Older kids, on the other hand, get to refine their skills in specific disciplines such as drawing and drama.

For full details about the camps see the Place des Arts website.

WildPlay Element Park in Maple Ridge offers its special Anti-Gravity Camps at various times throughout the year. There are single-day camps on Pro-D Days and then during Spring Break there are week-long camps. There are camps in the summer too.

Note: The Maple Ridge location hosts Spring Break camps some years, but not in 2026. This year there are camps during the school holidays only at WildPlay’s Victoria location. Pro D-Day camps and summer camps do happen in Maple Ridge, however, at other times of the year.

In years when they happen, while at WildPlay’s camps, kids get the chance to tackle the park’s collection of adventure courses and jumps. They also go on nature walks and take part in other activities like learning how to identify local plants and wildlife.
