About The Urban Camp

Empowering youth through immersive, hands-on learning experiences that bridge innovation, culture, and personal growth

Our Story

The Beginning

Founded in August 2019, The Urban Camp was launched as an innovative education program offering immersive summer camps for youth. We set out to revolutionize how young people learn by creating experiences that go beyond traditional classrooms.

Global Expansion

When the pandemic hit, we quickly pivoted to deliver highly successful online summer camps for two years. This transition allowed us to expand our reach internationally, serving students from Canada, the US, Venezuela, Mexico, Uruguay, Ecuador, Colombia, and Chile.

Building Relationships

From our first and second online camps, we have four recurrent clients who came with their cousins to Vancouver in 2023. Santiago will be returning in 2026 for his 4th time at The Urban Camp—a testament to the lasting impact of our programs.

Returning Students

Building on our success, we continue to offer diverse online workshops for schools and independent learners worldwide, constantly evolving our programs to meet the changing needs of global youth education.
