Another great camp to include is Stanley Park Ecology Society’s: http://stanleyparkecology.ca/education/spes-day-camp-2015/ For children ages 7-9, it’s a nature based day camp “amongst the giant trees, sandy beaches and hidden wetlands of Stanley Park. Spot wild animals like otters and beavers, have a blast splashing at the beach, and learn while spending valuable time outdoors.”
Another Summer Camp that has sport, SCUBA, science, robotics/computers and other options is SFU’s summer camps and SFU’s Science Alive camps:

Summer Camp for older teens (15-18): Langara College’s High School Journalism Institute this July offers 3 week-long dynamic camps: (1) Online News Reporting & Photography (2) Radio Journalism & Podcasts and (3) TV Journalism. Each camp will teach students the basics of journalism and create a final version for production, either online, in a radio-news-style podcast, or a TV news video. http://www.langara.bc.ca/departments/journalism/summer-camps.html
