Our Programs
School Field Trips
Ocean Camp
We provide students in grades 5 and up in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island with an inspiring educational experience that culminates in our on-the-beach Ocean Camp program. Students learn to stand-up paddle, participate in a clean-up, discuss the ways ocean plastics impact marine life, and discover ways they can make a difference.
Gumboots
In this 4-hour workshop grades 1–4 students explore the ecology of the shoreline and take part in a hands-on educational workshop on the beach exploring marine life and the crisis of ocean plastics. The Gumboots workshop links to the new BC Curriculum focus on flexible learning environments and developing a sense of place.
Summer Camps
Three Epic Summer Camps Await!
TideRider Adventure Camp – Exploration and Ocean Stewardship!
Dive into an unforgettable summer at Ambleside Beach for ages 8-13 where this camp is packed with ocean fun, paddling, and hands-on exploration. While riding the waves, campers will also discover the wonders of ocean health, build essential skills, develop self-awareness, and create meaningful connections with nature. Our mission? To inspire the next generation of ocean stewards—kids who love, respect, and protect our blue planet.
Programs have ratios of 1 instructor to 6 children. Participants learn to stand-up paddle, including Paddle Canada certification, explore the ecology of the shore and ocean, and are empowered to become stewards of our oceans.
