Activity Day Trips

Treat your class or group to a full day of outdoor adventure with Camp Jubilee’s popular Activity Day Trips. With 10 engaging options to choose from—including archery, voyageur canoeing, slingshots, beach study, shelter building, orienteering, and team building—students stay active while learning new skills, building confidence, and strengthening connections.

Our Standard Day Trip includes three guided activities and a nutritious lunch, with one free teacher for every 12 students. Groups looking for even more adventure can upgrade to the Extended Day Trip, which adds a campfire program and the chance for students ages 10+ to try kayaking.

Every trip includes round-trip boat transportation from Cates Park, North Vancouver, making it easy for schools to enjoy a seamless and unforgettable outdoor experience.

Professional Development Day Retreats
Swap the staff room for the shoreline and spend your Pro-D Day surrounded by nature. Camp Jubilee’s Professional Development Day Retreats offer educators the perfect blend of inspiration and relaxation. Enjoy up to three guided outdoor activities, a catered lunch, and access to indoor or outdoor meeting spaces to connect, collaborate, or simply unwind.

With boat transportation from Cates Park included, your team can enjoy a refreshing, hassle-free retreat that sparks creativity and builds stronger bonds.

This program is designed for the young visitors (kindergarten up to Grade 2). Children will be provided with a one-hour group tour of the Sanctuary wetlands and trails, exploring the importance of water under the guidance of our biologist. At the discretion of the leader and teacher, this may be extended to 1.5 hours. The Sanctuary is a colourful place to visit in the fall to learn about our friendly ducks and chickadees, fascinating spiders and other waterbirds and wildlife.
