Spring break camps, surf camps, Pro-D Day camps, outdoor fitness and the Teen and Pre-Teen Outdoor Leadership Club, with individual trips you can join one at a time.
Ages 11 to 15 for the Leadership Club
Partial-day, full-day and multi-day outdoor education for classes: forest ecology, survival skills, snowshoeing, orienteering, marine biology and overnight expeditions, on almost any budget.
Grades 2 to 12
A one-of-a-kind outdoor social club for adults: weekend hiking trips, ski trips, outdoor fitness and hands-on skills workshops, plus expeditions like the Juan de Fuca Trail and Desolation Sound.
Most community hikes free or very low cost
Custom programs for families, friends, corporate groups and organizations: swimming lessons, birthday parties, navigation courses, camping skills training and guided tours.
Partial-day, full-day and multi-day, year-round
Every WEA camp is experiential and educational, focused on confidence, teamwork and real outdoor skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Regular time outside supports vitamin D, healthy sleep, mood and energy. Our camps keep kids in the fresh air all day.
Hiking, canoeing, archery, fire-building and running games keep children moving for far more than the recommended hour a day.
Kids plan, prioritize, solve problems and invent their own games, with unstructured time built in on purpose.
Teamwork and friendship happen naturally in small groups, away from screens and highly structured settings.
Forest, soil, streams and ocean: experiences that build a lifelong respect for the natural world.
Our adult programs exist for exactly that. Join a day trip, a weekend program or an evening course before committing to a multi-day expedition: hike the Juan de Fuca Trail, winter camp in Strathcona Park, ski at Mount Washington, kayak in Desolation Sound, or learn tarp setup and survival skills in Saanich. WEA runs programs in Victoria, Sooke, Duncan, Nanaimo, the Comox Valley, Campbell River, Tofino, Port Renfrew, Woss and more.
