About the program

Salmon’s Epic Journey brings children into a real river environment to explore one of nature’s most fascinating life cycles.

Through guided walks, observation, games, storytelling, and hands-on activities, children discover how salmon travel from rivers to the ocean and return home again.

Instead of only learning from a book, children get to look, ask questions, explore, and make connections with what they see around them.


For Young Explorers Ages 3–6:

Young children learn best when they can move, play, observe, and explore.

Throughout the day, teachers guide children through simple, age-appropriate activities that introduce the salmon life cycle and river habitat in a fun and approachable way.

  • Scenic landscape with mountains, a lake, and rolling grassy hills under a cloudy sky.

    "Compass is one of the best in Vancouver that teaches children from an innovative, hands-on, and professional perspective. Their programs are designed to spark Children’s creativity, interests and problem solving abilities. My children always looking forward to go in for camp!"

  • Snow-capped mountains in the background with a modern building on a grassy hillside in the foreground.

    "My 4-year-old son has been attending since last September—it's been over 8 months now—and we absolutely love it. Each term and every week features a new theme, with creative, hands-on activities that keep him excited and engaged. He always comes home eager to tell me what he learned that day. What’s been especially impressive is how much his vocabulary has grown. He’s learning so much—just through play! It’s pressure-free and full of joy. Nature has truly become his classroom, and it’s incredible to watch him explore forests, streams, and muddy trails with such confidence. The teachers are warm, caring, and professional. You can really feel their passion for early childhood education. My son looks forward to every class—and as a parent, that means everything."
