Nonprofit Organizations in Vancouver

Wonderstruck Camp is a Summer day camp in North Vancouver for 5-9 year-olds. Campers enter a fantasy story led by a wizard named Wonder, his mythical friends, and the esteemed professor of magic, Dr.Lorekeeper. Each activity advances the plot of the story through games, skits and other challenges until campers have participated in solving a central problem in the mythical world.
