Join us for Summer Camps at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at UBC, where children explore music through digital media and STEM-inspired activities.

Through hands-on projects, campers will have the chance to explore music and create exciting multimedia content. With a focus on creativity, imagination, and teamwork, our camps provide a fun, supportive space for children to learn, collaborate and express themselves.

Our camps are designed for children ages 5.5-12 who are curious about music, digital media, and STEM. No prior experience is required in music, digital composition, stop-motion animation, or coding. Some camps may have age-appropriate prerequisites, such as basic reading or familiarity with a computer or tablet; please refer to individual camp pages for details.

Returning campers are welcome! This year’s camps feature new themes, activities, and experiences.

“This camp was absolutely wonderful! I was blown away by the dedication, kindness, and knowledge and skills of the staff. My camper was so excited to go to camp every day and I looked forward to hearing what he learned and created each day. The final day showcase was a treat and I can say without a doubt that this has been the best camp my child has attended in the past 3 years!

“My child was always excited to share about what he has learned at the camp at Chan Centre. This is not always the case for the other camps that he has attended. He was proud of the games that he had developed and also the skills he gained through coding and garage band. The camp facilitators were understanding and accommodating of his ADHD needs which is also something that was truly appreciated. He didn’t feel excluded or sidelined because of it and felt like a member of the camp community. Thank you!”

Your team did an amazing job to coordinate a wonderful balance of structured classroom learning, playing games, outdoor movement and fun activities, team building and working together! My child enjoyed his overall camp experience and his desire to return next year is evident of the hard work and dedication your team brought to his learning experience. Thank you for a fun, informative, engaging and inspiring week of summer camp!
