Seasonal Day Camps
Our House – Winter, Spring and Summer Day Camps
Offering adventurous, fun and enriching experiences for children 5 – 12 years old
Our House Daycamps have been operating since 1986. We opened our own Facility “Our House” in 2010 at 123 West 16th Ave in Vancouver. As a non-profit childcare centre, Our House, is operated and governed by the Mount Pleasant Community Centre Association.
We are thrilled to offer our popular Daycamp Programs for children 5-12 years old (5 years olds must be attending or have completed kindergarten). Children will visit key attractions and participate in a variety of activities & adventures. Program fees include transportation and admission costs.

Inclusion Policy
Vision: Every child and family is unique and should have access to an inclusive and respectful child care experience.
Policy: MPCCA child care programs embrace diversity and celebrate environments of acceptance, respect, understanding and inclusion. We commit to learn, understand and appreciate each person’s unique attributes, abilities and cultural history to ensure that each child is recognized, reflected and valued in our programs. Our educators support the unique abilities of each child to ensure they reach their highest potential. MPCCA works with BC Centre for Ability and other community partners to enhance our ability to support children of all abilities through training and consultation.
