Kids Camps & Events
Fun times
year round!
Where there are children, there is spirit, and we support bringing that to life in our Kids and Youth programming through Spirit of Adventure.
Our Winter, Spring Break and Summer Camps have been a tremendous success and a ton of fun since we launched in 2020! Spirit of Adventure Programs inspire co-creative leadership, creative expression, self inquiry, as well as plenty of fun and safe adventure experiences! Have a look at our Creative Arts Adventure Series and our Camp programming for this year ahead!
“Actually, the best thing you could have given…was a lifetime of adventures.”

Spirit of Adventure camps offer a safe and healthy learning environment for ALL.
Co-Creative Alternative Education Salt Spring Island
In 2020, Amy experimented with an Arts and Adventure based 8-month alternative education program on Saltspring island. With roots in Waldorf education, while also inclusive of intercultural and indigenous learnings, this program supported self inquiry, project development, and academic development through outdoor/adventure and creative based programming.
We took a break from programming in 2021/2022 to explore and expand our camp offerings and assess local/global educational needs.
This program is currently in development with plans to move to a more individualized Project-based Inquiry model, and perhaps even to Online Education hybrid learning! To learn more about the Co-Creative Alternative Education Saltspring 2022/2023 offering:
