This Spring the Maritime Museum of BC is all about Kids!!


The Maritime Museum of BC is proud to introduce our brand new Adventures at Sea Spring Camp! Look no further for a fun and interactive camp for your kids. Not only will it be a great way to spend their spring break, it will also be educational and engaging.

Mornings will be spent discovering the Museum through activities, games and crafts. Pirates, navigation, marine life and life at sea are some of the topics to explore. In the afternoons, campers will venture out into the city to experience a historical ghost walk, see an IMAX film, and take a boat trip up the Gorge waterway!

Mon-Fri: 9:30-4:00
Cost $175 (for the full week) plus HST

The camp will be led by 2 camp leaders, with a maximum ratio of 1 leader per 5 campers.  Both leaders are experienced with children and have led numerous camps before.  They hold current first-aid certification and have undergone a criminal records check.
