Still figuring out what your kids are doing this summer?

Summer break is closer than it feels, and the best camp spots in Vancouver are already going fast.

Here's one worth bookmarking: Frisbee Camps.

For kids ages 7-14, here's what a day actually looks like:

🥏 Ultimate Frisbee Camp
Run, pass, and play as a real team. Everyone touches the disc. No ball-hogs, no bench.

🤖 STEM x Ultimate Camp
Ultimate Frisbee in the morning,cCoding and robotics in the afternoon. Best of both worlds.

Both camps are:
✔ Full-day programming (yes, the whole day)
✔ Co-ed with balanced participation for boys and girls
✔ Self-refereed, so kids learn real integrity and conflict resolution
✔ Open to beginners, no experience needed
✔ Run by coaches who've worked with 50,000+ students since 2016

And here's the thing about Ultimate Frisbee: it's one of the few sports where your kid genuinely cannot be left out. The rules are designed around teamwork. It's co-ed by nature. And it teaches kids how to handle disagreements on their own, without a referee stepping in.

It's the kind of sport that builds character, not just fitness.
