Wonderstruck Summer Day Camp features a new immersive story experience each week. 
We have five weeks of summer programming from July 22-August 23 in the Parkgate Area (near the community centre, see map below).
  • Is camp a good fit for my family?
    Note: Wonderstruck campers are aged 5-10. LITs are 11-13. At Wonderstruck Camp, we prioritize the readiness and success of every camper. Here's what you should consider: 1. Outdoor Experience: Expect your camper to spend a significant portion of their day outdoors. We firmly believe in the enriching power of nature for learning and personal growth. 2. Healthy Risk-Taking: Our activities are designed to foster healthy risk-taking in a supervised environment. From forest runs to climbing adventures, we encourage campers to challenge themselves safely. Camp Readiness Checklist Before registering, ensure your camper can: Follow directions and safety guidelines from staff. Engage and participate positively within the camp community. Interact in a manner that ensures their safety and that of others. Independently use the restroom during camp hours. Concerns or Additional Support? If you answered "no" to any of these questions or if your camper requires special accommodations, please reach out to our camp office at 604-841-0153 or via email before registering. We're here to ensure every camper has a fulfilling experience at Wonderstruck Camp.

  • How is Wonderstruck different from other camps?
    Wonderstruck is a safe, welcoming community for dreamers, creative kids, and everyone looking for a bit of adventure. Campers grow in their problem-solving, collaboration and self-expression through imaginative play. Through each activity, from arts and crafts to skits to large group games, campers advance the plot of a fantasy story. Imagine a weeklong scavenger hunt inside your favourite curl-up-next-to-the-fire fantasy adventure book: that's Wonderstruck.
  • Where does Wonderstruck Camp take place?
    Wonderstruck Camp takes place in the enchanted forests of North Vancouver. During Summer 2024, Wonderstruck will run out of the Terrace at Mount Seymour Lions Housing Society at 1300 Parkgate Ave, North Vancouver.

  • How do I decide whether my teenager is a fit for LIT (Leaders In Training) or Volunteering?
    LITs and Volunteers have similar roles in the Wonderstruck world. LITs can apply via our Staff Application Form, but are not eligible to be main characters or Senior Counselors. LITs are assigned a Senior Counselor or Staff Person to shadow throughout their time at Wonderstruck, and are provided with formal and informal feedback during and after the session concludes. LITs can also benefit from staying connected to one another via Wonderstruck events throughout the year, and are eligible for support with applications, network-building and references from their Senior Leadership. LITs are invited to select their desired roles and sessions, and will be formally interviewed by the camp's Director to confirm a good fit. Please reach out to our Director with any further questions about Wonderstruck's LIT program!
  • What are your health and safety guidelines?
    At Wonderstruck, your campers' safety and well-being are our top priorities. Here's how we ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone: Health Protocols: We strictly adhere to all health protocols mandated by the BC Government, ensuring that our procedures align with public health recommendations. From handwashing routines to symptom monitoring, we implement comprehensive measures to safeguard your health and well-being. Health Screening: We require anyone feeling unwell or experiencing symptoms of illness, including those associated with COVID-19, to stay home and seek appropriate medical advice. Please note that refunds are not provided for missed camp days due to illness. Handwashing Practices: Campers are encouraged to wash their hands regularly, especially before and after meals and snacks. Handwashing stations and hand sanitizer with at least 60-70% alcohol content are readily available throughout the campsite. Limited Visitors: To maintain our screening efforts and ensure everyone's safety, we restrict visitors' access to our camp premises. Outdoor Activities: Spending time outdoors is not only enjoyable but also contributes to overall health. That's why we prioritize outdoor activities, providing ample opportunities for campers to explore and engage with nature. Child Safety and Well-being: We take our duty to ensure the safety and security of every child seriously. Our commitment includes maintaining higher-than-minimum counselor-to-camper ratios, ensuring that children receive attentive care. Our senior counselors and camp directors are trained in First Aid, and all staff members undergo criminal record checks. For more detailed information, please refer to our Policies and Procedures as well as our Parent Waiver. At Wonderstruck, we're dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and create lasting memories.

Creative Thinking 

Imaginative play helps develop innovative, outside-the-box thinking and the ability to see new possibilities. 

Our world needs new solutions more than ever. Developing this skill in our kids is crucial. 

grow through imagination

Independent Decision-Making

Kids' choices and actions are linked to outcomes within an immersive storyline.  Instead of a set of rigid instructions, kids are given control over their own experience. This fosters reflection on their own feelings, thoughts, decisions, and the impact of their actions.

Collaborative Problem-Solving

Working through story-based challenges allows kids to solve problems in a safe and controlled environment. Advancing the plot through co-operatiion with peers builds teamwork skills.
