With new program partners this year, we are thrilled to offer:
• Terrific summer science experiences such as Zany Zoology and Crime
Scene Investigators

Art Connections
• Interesting reading, writing, and comprehension experiences such as
Literacy through Puppetry, Mandarin and Fun, and Creating Your Own
Imaginarium
• Athletics and physical skills development experiences, such as Touchdown
Football and FUN-damentals Basketball
• For those business-savvy students, we’ve also added a Junior Achievers
Business Entrepreneurs all day camp – NEW this year!
Learners from Kindergarten to Grade 12 will enjoy our learning-based, fun-filled
enrichment programs, which all integrate “energy breaks” to ensure physical
activity is always included. Those staying through the lunch break will be
supervised by our staff of excellent student helpers who are on site to ensure
the fun, safety and enjoyment of everyone.
Where learning never stops—West Vancouver School District is the place to be
