Half Day Camps
Compass Half Day Camp is a supervised outdoor camp for children ages 3–12. Each session, children are cared for in small groups while enjoying outdoor play, nature walks, creative activities, group games, storytelling, and hands-on exploration across Vancouver's most beautiful outdoor spaces. Our half day sessions are thoughtfully designed for younger children and growing adventurers giving every child a safe, joyful outdoor experience matched to their age and stage.
Our outdoor courses consist of four semesters, each corresponding to a season (spring, summer, autumn, and winter). Classes are held once a week for 2 hours, with new content introduced each semester.
Feel free to contact us if you have questions!
