Things to do in Vancouver with kids
103 dated listings for school-age kids in Vancouver in the next 60 days — after-school, camps, courses and youth sports, pulled from the town's real event feed and sorted by age, not by who paid to be first.
Kids life in Vancouver — the short version
If you're raising kids in Vancouver, this is the page that keeps up. Between Oct 7 and Dec 5, Vancouver's feed lists 103 dated listings for this age — 14 different programs, covering after-school, camps, courses and youth sports. Most of it runs at Kensington Branch (16) and Mount Pleasant Branch (10).
Everything here is a real listing from Vancouver's own event feed, checked against each program's age range — a program whose ages overlap 5–12 shows up here even if it also fits the age next door.

Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Vancouver: 103 dated listings in the next 60 days; 60 run after school on a weekday and 40 land on a weekend; the busiest single venue is Kensington Branch with 16 of them.
On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Vancouver's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.

Common questions
What's on in Vancouver for school-age kids right now?
The feed lists 103 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 7 to Dec 5 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.
Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?
It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.
What's free for school-age kids in Vancouver?
None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
