Pear Tree Education
Established in 2011, Pear Tree was created in response to the problem that public and private / independent school education models are outdated, and that children are not learning relevant life skills nor developing the confidence that will enable them to excel in and out of the classroom.
In 2016, Pear Tree launched it’s own private school (Pear Tree School), which operates separately from Pear Tree Education.
All of Pear Tree Education’s camps and courses are open to any student aged 5-14.
2023 is our 12th year of summer camps! We hope you will be able to join us!
About Pear Tree’s Education Camps
Pear Tree Education is about to change your idea of summer camps!
Like many families, you’re looking for the perfect blend of education and social interactions for your child.
We have become one of Vancouver’s most popular education camp companies (Pro-D, spring and summer camps), both because of the quality and diversity of our courses.
Our wide range of course types will engage your children in new and challenging activities, including cooking, sports, music and dance, drama/public speaking, technology, art/crafts, and academics.
All of our summer camps are designed by Pear Tree’s founders and directors, Alexis Birner (M.Ed.) and Paul Romani (M.Ed.), and are led by school teachers to ensure that summer camps offer exceptional levels of safety, enjoyment and education!
With any Pear Tree summer course, your child will spend as much time as possible outside, experiencing education hands-on in the open air.
We’re confident you won’t find a better educational summer camp.
Our camps fill up very fast, so make sure that you book soon to avoid disappointment!
Locations & Times
We have summer camps in Burnaby, East Van (close to Olympic Village), Kitsilano, North Van, and White Rock.
You can register from as few as 1 week up to the entire summer!
Camps are from 9am – 3pm, with options to extend these times (8am – 5pm) using our optional pre-camp and/or after-camp supervision services.
Prices
Camps cost $420 per 5-day week.
By booking 4 weeks or more of our summer camps, you could save up to 20% off our regular price. We’re confident you won’t find a better value-for-money summer camp!
On the week with a statutory holiday, the price will be adjusted for a 4-day week. This applies to our Hot Lunch program, too.
Healthy Hot Lunch Program (Kitsilano only)
At our Kitsilano location, we also offer an amazing healthy hot lunch program for an additional $75. This is prepared from fresh by our in-house chef (Red Seal Level 3).
