Spring break activities in the Fraser Valley this year

It’s time to take a break from school, and find other ways to fill the weekdays.

Students will be home for spring break from Saturday, March 15 to Sunday, March 30 across the Fraser Valley. We’ve collected some spring break day camps and family adventures in Langley, Abbotsford, Agassiz, and Chilliwack to help fill your (or your kids’) time and make memories.

(These activities all had space available as of the time of writing. Spring break camps fill up quickly though, so we recommend registering well in advance if you are interested.)

Harvest Heroes: Agassiz

Have a kid who wants a taste of history? The Agassiz-Harrison Museum is partnering with the Fraser Cascade School District to give kids and parents a chance to learn more about the history of agriculture in the region. The workshop will focus on the history of food production, and feature touchable artifacts, agricultural crafts, and a food package to take home.

The event runs from 10am to noon on Wednesday, March 19. More details are available online.
