The Changes

FUN Camps is an environmental leadership summer day camp in Vancouver and Victoria BC run by Friends Uniting for Nature (FUN) Society - a charitable non-profit organization.

Want to learn how to reduce your your ecological footprint, develop leadership skills, learn how to work with others AND have fun at the same time?

FUN Camps is for 6-16 year old youth in Vancouver and 6-12 year old youth in Victoria BC.

Activities include: Building mini solar powered cars and racing them, baking brownies in solar ovens, creating a mini eco-city using recycled materials, planning social/environmental change projects, bike maintenance workshops, growing sprouts, gardening, exploring nature, outdoor games, sports, swimming, art, drama and hiking. The camps run Monday-Friday, July 5th to Aug 27th from 9am-4pm at UBC in Vancouver and Windsor Park Pavilion in Victoria. For camps that are currently listed as full second sessions will open up with high demand.

Each week has a different environmental theme such as energy, transportation, food,water, nature and eco-footprint. There are two added features this year, an environmental themed loot bag for each participant to encourage responsible environmental action at home and a social/environmental change project contest.
