VIU Deep Bay Marine Field Station Updates

Summer camps at Deep Bay Marine Field Station are off to a great start!

Campers aged 6-12 have taken part in the July Fishy Fun and Ocean Adventures Camps earlier this month.

Each week has been packed with games, science experiments, crafts, outdoor adventures, boat trips and more.  Campers have become scientist for the week as they learned how to take care of marine animals and explore amazing life in our tanks and on the beach.

Our camps have been a huge hit, as every camp so far has been booked solid. To check to see if there’s any room remaining in our camp for ages 9-12, contact the RDN at 250-248-3252 or Register on line.

We were thrilled to be able to help host Bowser Elementary’s Spring Concert on Tuesday, May 10th!

High Tea

The choir and band played two separate concerts at the station. The first concert took place during our High Tea in the afternoon. It was an extra treat for the guests to listen to as they enjoyed their tea and pastries. The second concert was the real deal as various friends and family members came out to enjoy the music with an oceanfront view! We had a full house with every seat being used.

Hungry choir and band students waiting for lasagna lunch!

Robert Seline, band director, and Allison Shaw, choir director, did a fantastic job getting the students ready for the concert. Parent volunteers were a huge help coordinating the students and helping dish up a lasagna lunch. Our chef Lila also prepared some yummy cupcakes and pies for any hungry guests.

Thanks Bowser Elementary choir and band students for the wonderful performance! We are looking forward to hosting another concert again soon!
