16. RISE Project
Girls aged 13-15 will enjoy the week-long, full-day North Vancouver summer camps. The program is aimed at creating positive self-image, building friendship and promoting overall well-being. Participants will get moving with yoga, dance and games, they’ll learn about positive female relationships, sleep and study habits, make healthy lunches and go on field trips.

17. VSB
Elementary and secondary school students can enjoy free summer programs through the school board. There are traditional summer school programs, reviewing and previewing class material. There are also ESL programs. That’s not all you’ll find, though. There are a variety of special interest and skill-building courses, focusing on subjects as diverse as robotics, badminton, arts and crafts, gardening, cooking, and kindergarten prep. The best part? Kids can enroll in one (but only one) for free!
