Stanley Park Ecology Society’s education team has been busy organizing another lineup of fascinating and fun programs to immerse kids in the delights of nature! The Spring EcoCamps in Stanley Park will give youngsters (ages 7-11) a chance to uncover the mysteries of the natural world, learn valuable outdoor skills, and let their budding inner performers bloom.
