Vancouver Spring Break Camps

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 WildPlay Element Park and Timberline Ranch in Maple Ridge, the BC Sports Hall of Fame in Vancouver, Fantasy Farms in Chilliwack, 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.

WildPlay Maple Ridge

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.

The longer camps run from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday to Friday during Spring Break. They’re designed for youth ages 10 to 14 and all participants must be at least 4’8″ tall.

While at WildPlay 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.

Registration for a week-long Anti-Gravity Camp costs $425 with early bird pricing, or $450 at full price. WildPlay season passholders also get a discount. Alternatively, if you use the promo code VBP15, you can save 15% (both on the Spring Break camps and on the general activities at other times too). Each camp consists of 10 to 24 kids with one park guide for every eight campers.

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.

Fantasy Farms

Chilliwack’s Fantasy Farms is a functioning farm that also hosts a variety of events throughout the year.

During Spring Break in 2026, the farm offers two sets of five-day camps for kids between the ages of 5 and 11 years old. The camps run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm from March 16th to 20th and from March 23rd to 27th.

Activities include arts and crafts, outdoor games, nature walks and scavenger hunts. Children also get to spend time with the farm’s animals. Each week of camp costs $200 per kid.

Britannia Mine Museum

The Britannia Mine is a National Historic Site located between Vancouver and Squamish. It’s a terrific museum. Although the attraction doesn’t offer Spring Break camps, there are still special activities for kids to enjoy over the holidays most years.

From Tuesdays to Saturdays during last year’s Spring Break, there were Mini Mud Monsters sessions from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. They included hands-on things to do where families could learn ways to help the environment. From Tuesdays to Thursdays over Spring Break last year, there was also a program about Mt. Sheer. Guests learned what it was like to live in the mining town in the 1900s.

To learn more about activities at the museum, see the Britannia Mine website.

BC Sports Hall of Fame

The BC Sports Hall of Fame is situated inside BC Place Stadium in downtown Vancouver. Last year the museum offered two single-day Spring Break camps on the Mondays of March 17th and 24th.

The camps ran from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm and were intended for children ages 7 to 10. They featured educational tours showcasing the rich sporting history of BC. They also offered the chance to have fun with the museum’s many interactive exhibits. The cost to enjoy the camp last year was just $60 for each participant. That was a terrific deal!

In addition to the camps on Mondays, there were also other Spring Break deals on offer during the 2025 school holidays. On Tuesdays to Thursdays there were discounts on all group bookings. Then on Fridays to Sundays there were discounts on family passes so two adults and two kids were able to visit the museum for just $40.

Details about camps and special offers during Spring Break in 2026 are to be confirmed. See the official BC Sports Hall of Fame website for the latest information.

Timberline Ranch

Timberline Ranch is a retreat and camp centre in Maple Ridge. Surrounded by nature, the ranch offers all sorts of outdoor experiences for all ages. In the spring there are often special camps for children. Details about Spring Break camps at Timberline Ranch in 2026 are to be confirmed.
