This two-hour experience is ideal for larger groups that can switch between the botanical garden and the TreeWalk. Students explore the treetop canopy of the temperate rainforest on an aerial adventure on the TreeWalk and our many gardens and learn about the importance of forests, biodiversity, and the interconnectedness of trees with people, plants, and the planet. 

Whether you teach preschool, elementary, high school or post-secondary UBC Botanical Garden is an excellent place to enhance your classroom learning.

Whether you are teaching your students about forests, biomes, or ecosystems we offer a truly unique opportunity to tour a sustainable outdoor adventure designed with trees in mind.

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.

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.

Programs for this age group are 1.5 hours long and include a short orientation session in our Lecture Hall with its museum collections, followed by a 1 hr biologist-led walk, during which students will learn the basics of bird identification and the importance of the Sanctuary's biodiversity to migratory birds and other wildlife. The Sanctuary is located in the Fraser River estuary, and trails meader between large treed areas, open ponds and natural tidal mudflats and wetlands. Seasonal highlights in the fall include the arrival of the Lesser Snow Geese from Russia. Winter highlights often include owls and the very friendly Black-capped Chickadees. In spring, the emphasis is on spring migrants and nesting behavior.
