Overview

AI & ACADEMIC SUMMER PROGRAM IN VANCOUVER

Powered by Alexander Academy

Camp International’s AI & Academic Summer Program combines focused morning learning at Alexander Academy with the social, cultural and adventure side of a Vancouver summer camp. Students choose an academic stream that matches their interests and English-learning goals, attend weekday classes from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, and then join Camp International for lunch, afternoon programming, evening activities and weekend experiences.
The program is designed for students who want more than a traditional summer course. Mornings are structured around academics, communication and project-based learning; afternoons and evenings create space for friendships, activities and exploration. Saturdays are designed for a full-day Camp International excursion, while Sundays remain part of the Camp International activity and community program.
The current 2027 academic operating window runs from Monday, July 5 through Sunday, August 8, with a minimum stay of two weeks. Alexander Academy classes run on weekdays, and Camp International manages the camp experience outside academic hours, including weekend programming. Final dates and course availability remain subject to confirmation.

Learn in the Morning.

Explore in the Afternoon.

Experience Vancouver All Summer.

WHY THIS PROGRAM

Program highlights and key selling points.

Academic + Camp Experience

Focused weekday morning learning is combined with Camp International afternoons, evenings and weekends.

Choose Your Course

Students can select the academic pathway that best matches their interests and English-learning goals, subject to final 2027 availability.

Future-Focused AI

The AI course introduces students to practical AI tools, real-world applications and responsible AI use.

Hands-On Projects

AI students progress from foundations to practical applications and a mini-capstone rather than only learning theory.

No Advanced Coding Required

The supplied AI course copy states that advanced mathematics or coding experience is not required to begin.

Writing & Critical Thinking

The composition/literature pathway develops original writing, revision, interpretation and critical thinking.

English Confidence

ELL Bridging focuses on reading, writing, listening and speaking through practical communication.

Vancouver Afternoons

After morning classes, students move into Camp International activities, recreation and city experiences.

Full-Day Saturdays

The website sample schedule reserves Saturday for a full-day Camp International excursion.

Social Evenings

Camp Social Nights provide time for friendships, community, games and shared summer experiences.

Flexible 2- or 4-Week Path

The current draft includes two-week blocks plus a four-week Block 1 + Block 2 option.

A summer that does both: meaningful academic progress in the morning and a real Vancouver camp experience after class. Students can explore AI, strengthen writing and literature skills, or build English confidence, then spend the rest of the day connecting with friends, joining activities and discovering Vancouver with Camp International.
