Three Last-Minute Spring Break Ideas
Vancouver Aquarium AquaCamps
There are still spaces in the Vancouver Aquarium’s AquaCamps for kids in kindergarten to grade eight for both weeks of Spring Break. This week-long, full-day camps promise hands-on activities, animal observation, crafts and time to play outdoors. Frankly, we sort of want to do these ourselves, but we’re too old. This fun and educational experience will teach your kids about animals, food systems, life cycles, adaptations and sustainability. The camps aren’t cheap but if you’re an aquarium member, you can save $70 off the registration fees.
