Stanley Park Ecology invites kids, ages 7 to 11 years old, to our EcoCamp. A curiosity-powered day camp for exploring everything around us – under tall trees, next to wiggling wetland creatures, and overlooking rocky shorelines. Camp days are a blend of outdoor adventures with indoor breaks, for a fun and safe week of diverse and inclusive activities in the heart of Stanley Park.
As sunset approaches in Stanley Park each day, the wetland ecosystems awake with activity. Join this guided evening tour to learn about the history, ecology, and twilight wildlife of Beaver Lake! Led by an Educator from Stanley Park Ecology, we’ll keep our senses tuned to the signs of wildlife – listening for the croaks of frogs, the buzz of dragonflies, and calls of wetland birds. With any luck, the bats and beavers will emerge for an evening of feeding at the lake. Space is limited to 20 participants.
