Where Life Flourishes
Summer Camps at VanDusen
Running from June 30 – August 22 our carefully crafted week long Summer Camps are a blend of science, exploration, games and crafts and give children the opportunity to learn and play in the beauty of VanDusen Botanical Garden!
Days are spent almost entirely outdoors. Suitable for children age 5 – 10.
