It seems like families have just gotten back into daily routines after the holidays and March Break is already looming on the horizon. For most of us, the pressure is on to find fun, enriching activities that parents and kids can agree on. Whether it's to keep the kids occupied while school is out or to begin developing a new skill, families across the nation are snapping up spaces to keep cabin-crazy kids busy with fun, informative and educational camps.
Vancouver
Capilano College in North Vancouver has an amazing medley of March Break programs -- kids can learn cooking, fashion design, computer animation or even golf. Snow bunnies can hit the slopes at places like Grouse Mountain for ski or snow board camp. If your little athlete prefers indoor pursuits, check out a track and field camp that includes instruction in throws, sprints, hurdles, distance and jumps from nationally certified coaches. Young adventurers will love the activities at Camp Byng: camping, hiking, expeditions, kayaking, skiing and orienteering.
Calgary
Don't let a frosty Alberta spring deny your child the glories of golf! At Eaglequest Golf, Mike Weir wannabees perfect their swings under the Golf Dome. Artsy kids can combine two passions -- drama and drumming -- at the Calgary Young People's Theatre 'Drumma Camps'. Kids learn the basics of West African Drumming and theatre arts like improv, comedy and story telling. Little Einsteins won't want to miss the Telus World of Science's spring break camps.
