Choose an adventure and have your children immerse themselves in our vibrant summer program at the University of British Columbia (UBC).

One of the distinctive features of our summer program is the opportunity for local children and teens to connect and collaborate with youth from prestigious families in Mexico, LATAM and other parts of the world. This cultural exchange will broaden their perspectives and create lifelong relationships, fostering a spirit of global understanding and cooperation. Because we believe today’s connections will be a true currency in the future. (inspired by the famous #relationshipsarethetruecurrency from Women in Tech Regatta).

From life and survival skills to immersing in an Olympic spirit, The Urban Camp offers two weeks full of interactive, hands-on activities and projects that will force Urban campers to speak, connect and communicate with fellow Urban Campers.

This is a fun, engaging, and educational two-week summer program that offers STEAM education, innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership. It features environmental sustainability, outdoor activities, and wellness. This is a must-try camp if you are looking for something hype and innovative, with the opportunity for your children to learn about other cultures and meet new friends that can last a lifetime!

Our INNOVATION Labs feature the exhilarating Urban Hackathon. In this all-day event, campers engage in workshops and entrepreneurial sessions and pitch their secret project to a jury, creating a memorable and extraordinary experience for all participants.

The Urban Camp introduces hands-on workshops to introduce campers to the fast-growing technology industry with different topics to choose from:

Understanding and creating Virtual Reality Worlds, 3D Design and 3D Printing, Data visualization, and an introduction to UX Design.

All our workshops are hands-on projects and challenges.

This program is designed for parents who are only in Vancouver for a few days visiting family, are busy working, and need a “youth daycare” that is fun, engaging, and educational. Our summer program offers STEAM education, innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership, featuring environmental sustainability, outdoor activities, and wellness. This is a must-try-camp if you are looking for something hype and innovative for one or more days and with the opportunity for your children to learn other cultures and meet new friends that can last for a lifetime!

Depending on the week or days you choose, this program includes:

Check-in is on Sundays at noon, and check-out is at 11 AM on Saturdays. If your child joins us between intake days, please let us know when you book.

Closer to the start of the summer program, we will provide an electronic presentation with a guideline on what is needed for the program.

Urban Campers can contact their parents anytime during their free time using their phones. Parents can also contact The Urban Camp Team, as the camp line is available 24/7. However, it is advised to avoid making non-emergency

calls between 10 PM and 7 AM Vancouver time.

For overnight campers, we will teach and help them do their laundry as part of our Life Skills program. However, camp fees do not include any laundry load.

Safety is a priority! We have a minimum of 2 adults for every 10 Urban Campers, plus mobile Social Media coordinators, senior team, camp security, and UBC and Whistler staff. We are trained and Certified in First Aid & CPR;

all have a criminal background check.
