About The University of British Columbia

Your child or teen will love the Digital Media Academy camps at UBC in Vancouver, Canada, where they can combine summer fun with cool topics such as game design, digital filmmaking, animation, and game modding. There are so many options available at our British Columbia camps that kids aged 6 to 18 are bound to find their ideal summer camp that will keep them entertained while learning new computer skills. Whether they attend the day camp or stay overnight, University of British Columbia (UBC) provides an exciting taste of college life in a safe and supportive environment. Kids and teens will learn how to make their own film, game, or digital art at summer camp with enthusiastic, energetic staff, while also making new friends with other campers through fun activities.

Just outside the center of Vancouver, the University of British Columbia (UBC) is located at the western tip of the Point Grey Peninsula, where the mountains meet the ocean. Well known for research and highly regarded for its undergraduate and graduate programs, the University of British Columbia is informally known as one of the “Canadian Ivies.” In 2006, Newsweek magazine ranked UBC second in Canada and 27th in the world. Its international prestige attracts students from around the world.  Visitors to this unique campus can take in culture at the Belkin Gallery or the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, enjoy nature at the Botanical Gardens or hike the trails of Pacific Spirit Park.
