Our mission is to teach the wonder, spirit and worth of people and the natural world through outdoor pursuits.

At Strathcona Park Lodge & Outdoor Education Centre, we’re lucky to work with a variety of schools and groups – public and private, home schoolers and First Nations, Montessori and Francophone, musical bands and sports teams. Many return year after year; some for more than 30 years. We’ve made many great friends over that time, but it is the students who continue to motivate us.

We see them smile, laugh and learn, but it’s only through letters like this one that we really understand the long-term impact. Ellen first came in grade 6 and then returned every year from grade 8 on. Hearing what her yearly visit meant inspires us to keep doing what we do.

“Dear Strathcona,

Strath is the where we—as a mini school class of 30—properly met and bonded for the

first time in grade 8. It was what kick-started the amazing relationships between our

mini school family, and what continued to bring us closer throughout the years. There

was sun, and there was rain. Moments that make us smile, laugh, and moments that

make us cringe at the thought of them. However, no matter how cold we got or how

hungry we were, every trip—every little moment, whether it be forgetting to waterproof

your bag and having all your clothes soaked, or finally getting back to the lodge and

taking the most amazing shower— was worth it.

Strathcona has played a great role in this chapter of my life. I know there is no

significant way of showing my appreciation, and that skills learned and memories

gained are priceless, but I thought the best place to begin would be with a thank you. For

giving me an amazing beginning to my time at high school, and an even better end.”

Sincerely,

Ellen, Matthew McNair Secondary School, November 2014

Engaging Expert Staff

Grouse Mountain’s dedicated team of educators has been welcoming students to our unique mountaintop environment for more than a decade. Our instructors are professionals with a passion for science, sustainability, First Nations, wildlife and the outdoors. Not only are they chosen for their high level of teaching expertise but they are also smart, energetic leaders who have the ability to engage students of every age and ability.

Curriculum Matching Courses

All of Grouse Mountain’s education programs are linked directly to prescribed learning outcomes allowing them to fit directly into lesson plans. Our programs are developed for teachers by teachers with fresh new program content included each and every year. Days at Grouse Mountain also mirror a typical school day running from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and are suitable for all grades K to 12.

Younger students will be amazed by what they’ll learn during Comparing Plants and Animals (K), Bears of North America (K-Grade 3), Staying Alive (Grade 1), Animals in Their Environment (Grade 2) and Plants Are Important Too (Grade 3). Older children will delight in Living Organisms (Grade 4), Owls of Grouse Mountain (Grades 5-8), Adaptations Among the Kingdoms (Grade 6), and Survival Within the Ecosystem (Grade 7).

In keeping with the cultural component of our program, enjoy our 45-minute híwus presentation in an authentic Pacific Northwest Coast Longhouse. During this special presentation, led by an elder of the Squamish Nation, students will interactively discover the ancient customs, legends, dances and rich history of our First nation people. For students looking for an extended and compelling First Nations experience, our full-day híwus First Nations Cultural Program is also available.

Interactive Outdoor Components

Each educational program we offer at Grouse Mountain contains both an interactive and an outdoor component. At the Peak of Vancouver activities range from skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating and snowshoeing in the winter to eco-walks, ranger talks, visits to the Eye of the Wind and GPS mapping tours in the summer.

Artists for Conservation Festival

From September 19 to 30, 2015, Grouse Mountain will host a world-class art festival featuring a unique educational program that will connect youth with nature through art. Students will get to meet, be instructed by and interact with some of today’s leading local and international wildlife artists.

Grouse MountainGrouse Mountain is not just a place that you visit. It is an immersive outdoor adventure that allows students to experience the awe-inspiring power of nature.

FORT STEELE HERITAGE TOWNFort Steele, B.C.The past lives and breathes at Fort Steele Heritage Town! Since its gold rush beginning in 1864, Fort Steele has gone from boomtown to ghost town to one of the most prestigious heritage attractions in British Columbia. For over 40 years, Fort Steele has offered a wide variety of education programming that uses participatory teaching methods involving hands-on activities.

Students love the educators’ first-person interpretation style to give them the feeling that they have literally stepped back to the year 1898. Join one of the ladies in the schoolhouse or our pioneer home, where they will teach students how to wash clothes, churn butter, and make ice cream. Or visit our railway workers, where they will teach children about Canada’s railway history while helping them build a real set of railway tracks, and then take a ride on the old hand pump car. With over a dozen different programs, there is sure to be one that suits your class perfectly.

And why simply stay for the day when you can have your class spend a night in historic 1887 RCMP barracks? The barracks sleep up to 70 people and come equipped with straw mattresses, wood stove cooking facilities, cooking utensils and eating area.

Choose Fort Steele to make history come alive!

SkyTrek Adventure Park is an aerial adventure park filled with fun and exciting games within the trees. Students and their teachers can challenge themselves on the aerial trekking course or get a rush of adrenaline at the Adventure Tower.

Students who choose to do the aerial trekking course will be working their way through a series of obstacles within the trees. The course has four different levels that get progressively higher and more challenging. We provide everyone with a harness, helmet, and all the necessary gear. Our experienced and enthusiastic staff will demonstrate and explain how to safely and properly move through the course on our training course. This course is close to the ground and exposes everyone to some of the obstacles they’re going to see on the course, but at a comfortable height. Once they’ve demonstrated they feel confident on the training course, it’s onto the green course. Then onto blue, black, then double black. On

the course, you’ll walk along suspension bridges and tight ropes, ride zip-lines, and even snowboard between tree tops!

The Adventure Tower is filled with adrenaline-pumping fun. There’s a 13-metre high simulated free fall, a giant swing, a swinging log with climbing holds, and two different climbing walls. One is animal and nature-themed, while the other is our new Indiana Jones-themed wall. The new wall features three different climbing routes that have blocks, vines, and snakes to use to climb up. It’s sure to get your heart pumping and your muscles working.

The activities at SkyTrek Adventure Park encourage teamwork and inspire self-confidence. Students help motivate and encourage each other, as well as celebrate each other’s success. A lot of people are taken out of their comfort zone and exposed to something brand new. We try and make their experience as fun and as memorable as possible!

SkyTrek Adventure Park

Located beside the Enchanted Forest between Revelstoke and Sicamous, SkyTrek Adventure Park is open from mid-May to Thanksgiving weekend.

Nestled in the heart of the Cascade Mountains, Manning Park offers a breathtaking loca�on to allow your students to make connec�ons with nature, each other and themselves - and all an easy bus ride away! Under a 2.5 hour drive from most places in the lower mainland, Manning Park Resort is s�ll able to give you and your students the feeling of being remote with its unique loca�on in the middle of a Class A Provincial Park.

While Coastal Mountains are o�en le� wai�ng for snow, Manning is just high enough in eleva�on and close enough to the interior to turn coastal rain into fresh powder to supply a mul�tude of winter ac�vi�es. Choose from downhill skiing or snowboarding, cross country skiing (both classic and skate ski ing), tubing, snowshoeing, tobogganing, and ice ska�ng, or stay a few days and fit it all in!

For skiing, boarding and cross country skiing we offer lessons from cer�fied instructors and we can also ou�it your class in rental equipment - complete with helmets. You can also add in a fun, educa�onal component to your trip with a guided snowshoe program. We’ll get your students moving with a snowshoe adventure while learning about winter survival or another topic of your choice. A�er a busy day on the slopes or trails, book ahead and we’ll open the ice skate rentals for you so you can challenge your students to a game of shinny on our outdoor, night lit ska�ng rink.

Spring or Fall you can connect the curriculum to the real world with educa�on programs tailored to your needs and designed by a cer�fied teacher. Make science, art or even math come alive for your students with the incredible array of plants and animals who call Manning Park their home. In the early fall or late spring you could also challenge your students to one of Manning’s many hikes, or rent canoes or kayaks on sparkling Lightning Lake. No ma�er the season - we’ve got ac�vi�es for everyone!

There are a mul�tude of accommoda�on op�ons for your group as well. Camping is available year round (try winter camping for serious character building!) at Lone Duck Bay Group Campsite. Want a more civilized approach? We offer an array of cabins to hold from 8-14 students each, and even have a unique, self-contained facility called the Last Resort that can hold up to 50 people at once! Our cabins offer kitchens so your students can increase their learning experience catering their own stay, or if you’d prefer our chef can create a variety of meal op�ons to suit any budget.

For those staying with us, you and your students can relax at the end of the day in the games room in the basement of the lodge, or swim in our Loon Lagoon facility featuring a saltwater swimming pool with two hot tubs, sauna and steam room.

Manning Park Resort - something for everyone!

For accommoda�ons please contact [email protected] or phone 604-668-5922. For ac�vi�es please contact [email protected] or phone 604-668-5933 x1339.

The byword in Manning Park is variety! Thereis truly something here for every season, forevery skill and ac�vity level, for every class ofevery size, or some�mes even a whole school!

Fraser Valley

Historic YaleYale, B.C. was once the largest city north of San Francisco and west of Chicago. Originally established in 1848 as a Hudson’s Bay Company trading post, Yale grew with the influx of an estimated 30,000 gold miners during the gold rush of 1858. In the 1860s, with the construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road, Yale became the main terminal for one of the largest sternwheeler routes in North America, and the 1880s saw the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway, with construction headquarters housed in Yale.

At the Yale Historic Site, we will create a day suited to the ages and education levels of your students.

• Visit the 1870s Creighton House Museum

• Tour St. John the Divine Church built in 1863

• Dress in period costume to explore our Living History Tent City

• Learn how to gold pan

• Take a guided walking tour of Historic Yale

• Scavenger hunts, games, crafts or float trips down the Fraser River are available

Dragon Boat BCThe Dragon Zone Paddling Club believes that all kids should have the opportunity to experience the positive benefits

of sport. We’ve created programs that encourage high school students to create teams through their schools and community centres. The Dragon Zone Paddling Club also provides supported programs to youth in order to remove the

financial barriers that prevent them from participating in an activity that could begin a lifelong love of sport.

Junior Programs Overview

Two different programs are available to school groups, community centres and youth organizations, and both include the use of all equipment (boats, paddles, personal floatation devices).

a) Standard Youth team program: This program is for high school students who have already formed their team, have their coaches and sponsors, and

don’t need any further development help from the Club. This program participates in the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival, held annually in June, and the Dragon Zone Junior Regatta in May.

b) Supported Youth program: This program is for high school-age students who wish to organize a team but don’t have an adult sponsor or coach. The Club arranges for two trained adults to assist each team with instruction and coaching, and guide them toward

self-management, teaching them important life skills such as peer communication, responsibility and organizational skills. Participation in the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival Races is free of charge to these junior teams. There’s a

small charge for some of the other activities, but the Club aims to keep all student costs under $60 each for a season of paddling including instruction, use of equipment, race and regatta registrations and safety and sport equipment. The

2015 price for Supported Youth Program is $1,500 plus GST.

Please email [email protected] to register for these programs.

Looking for a school field trip that both the kids and teachers/parents will enjoy? Then get ready to strap yourself into an adrenaline ride that is a ton of fun and has an emphasis on safety!

Indoor Kart Racing at TBC has been offering year-round go-kart racing since 2000 and offers a variety of options for group bookings. Whether it is a birthday party or a large group hosting an event, the options are limitless.

TBC offers a wide range of facilities that makes bringing down a large group easy. This includes expandable meeting/banquet rooms, pre-/post-race entertainment, and plenty of catering options to suit everyone’s needs.

At TBC there is a very strong focus on safety! Not only will everyone have a great time, each racer will also go through on-site in-depth training. It is important that everyone has a positive experience and the most fun possible – so TBC teaches you how to race properly. This is a great way to introduce younger kids into racing safety. All drivers attend a pre-race Drivers' meeting given by TBC’s staff. They will watch a safety video, gear up in TBC’s racing suits and full face helmets before entering the track. Once inside, the staff will help each racer adjust their seat, answer any questions and then be re-briefed again on the rules of the track. The briefing covers the operations of the karts, track regulations, flag systems, safety procedures

and a few driving tips. This gets everyone pumped up and ready to go! Plus, you never have to worry about getting stuck or stopping! There are stop lights and a flag system in place to ensure even if you do stop, the whole track will slow down while a staff member gets you moving again. Safety first!

As part of your group's race experience at TBC, they can offer an awards and presentation ceremony, where the winners stand on the winner’s podium for pictures. TBC can supply trophies, team t-shirts and other racing items to make this an event one everyone will remember for a long time.

Indoor Kart Racing at TBC has long-standing involvement at a number of schools in the lower mainland area. Including participating in the school dance ticket program to help give kids a chance to come out and race at a great price. TBC has vast experience arranging school field trips and offers schools flexible pricing to ensure their field trip fits within the budget.

Age/Height Requirements: all racers MUST be at least 11 years old and a minimum height of 58 inches.

For more information on exclusive racing packages available, www.tbcir.ca or contact TBC’s sales team at (604) 232-9196 ext #3 or [email protected].

Kid- AND Adult-friendly fun all year round!

DISCOVER CANADA’S LARGEST PORTLast year Port Metro Vancouver launched a new school program specifically designed to support your grade 4 to 6 students’ prescribed learning outcomes, as outlined by the B.C. Ministry of Education.

Students learn about Canada’s largest and most diversified port through activities such as:

See what teachers have been saying about our new free program:

“I was impressed with the quality of hands-on materials and fun, interactive activities. I have already recommended the program to colleagues.”

“I appreciated receiving the teacher guide as it allowed me to prepare my students for the presentation and do some follow up activities afterwards.”

“It was a great way to launch our Natural Resources unit.”

• MapPuzzle – How large is our port? Students assemble a map puzzle of Canada’s largest port, and explore familiar landmarks, alongside new ones, in relation to your school.

• CargoRelay– Students work together as terminal operators and try their hand at loading various cargo types in this ‘get up and go’ activity.

• EnviroQuiz – Students discover what makes Port Metro Vancouver a sustainable port, while thinking critically about their own environmental stewardship during this fun, object-based guessing game.

• ImportStory – Students learn how far oranges travel, and how many jobs are connected with our port, while wearing costumes and reading scripts in the ‘journey of an orange.’

In the heart of B.C.’s Interior lies the country’s second-largest ski area, welcome to Sun Peaks Resort. Just 45 minutes from Kamloops and four hours from Vancouver, Sun Peaks is home to some of the best and most consistent snow you can find, along with some of the friendliest locals and staff.

With the Slopeside School Program, you and your students can enjoy the slopes for a fraction of the normal cost. With on-mountain accommodation ranging from luxurious hotels to an economically priced hostel, there are lodging options for every taste and budget.

With a full range of terrain for all ability levels available from each lift, groups can ride the chair together, and choose the run best suited for them. Even better, all terrain funnels back into the village core, making it super easy for everyone to meet up at the end of each run. The compact pedestrian village means that groups can experience Sun Peaks Resort without having to navigate through busy traffic. With everything within walking distance, there’s no need to arrange for shuttles.

Over the years, Sun Peaks Resort has developed a school program and process that makes it easy to take students on a fun and memorable ski trip. The Slopeside School Program includes lift

tickets, rental equipment and ski, snowboard or Nordic lessons for all ability levels with friendly and highly qualified snow sports instructors. A tasty lunch can also be included for your students for a minimal cost.

Off the slopes, there are plenty of activities to choose from. Take your students for a spin around the outdoor ice rink, whiz down the tube park, or cruise the Nordic trails through the valley. All of these activities and more are sure to fill the day with non-stop smiles.

Every group is welcomed by Sun Peaks’ pleasant and knowledgeable group sales team who is happy to assist from the moment of inquiry to the very last run of the day. A brief safety instruction upon arrival ensures everyone knows how to stay safe and have fun while they’re enjoying the slopes. The on-mountain ski patrol circuits all terrain and is located slopeside in Bento’s Daylodge and is just a phone call away.

With every elementary and secondary school group, the goal of the Slopeside School Program is to create lasting memories in a safe and fun environment. Recognizing you have plenty of ski areas to choose from, contact Group Sales at [email protected] to find out why Sun Peaks Resort is the premier destination for B.C. schools.

UBC Botanical GardenUBC Botanical Garden offers an ideal outdoor learning environment with over 35 hectares to explore. The garden hosts a large botanical collection of plants arranged in diverse garden areas. If you have a food garden at your school, you might enjoy the demonstration food and physic garden full of medicinal plants. There are beehives, Asian glades and a canopy walkway perched high in the trees in the Pacific Northwest rainforest. There are 10 distinct garden areas to explore, including a cactus collection, an alpine area and a Garry Oak ecosystem.

Groups ranging from preschool to Grade 12 are able to meet curriculum related requirements and enhance classroom learning. The Garden provides endless opportunities to engage students in learning about life sciences, sustainability and human interaction with plants. The 8,000 taxonomies of plant species represented here form an active research collection that is internationally respected.

Included in the Botanical Garden is the Greenheart Canopy Walkway, a 308-metre aerial trail system where students can enjoy the treetop view in the rainforest surrounded by Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir trees. It is a thrilling adventure and often a highlight for students, especially those from urban environments.

Nearby, the Nitobe Memorial Garden is an authentic Japanese garden where students can experience a symbolic human journey through life and time. This is a good option for students of landscape design, botany, art or Asian studies.

CVS Tours - School Bus Services

My name is David Baker. I am a tour guide at the Squamish Líl’wat Cultural Centre, and have had the opportunity to lead many students through the facility.

When school groups visit, our centre comes alive. We always have the students participate in traditional dancing and singing as an icebreaker activity; we want the students to feel comfortable and welcome so that they can ask us questions they may have about our culture.

My favourite tour was for a school group learning about traditional art. We work closely with the teachers to understand projects students are working on and we focus our tours based on those learning goals. We created a pre- and post-visit program for the class. Prior to their tour they researched First Nation’s traditional art designs, during their visit we also taught them to them to sing and drum. Our tour focused on the art throughout the museum and they learned how drums were traditionally made by making their own mini-drum. Back in the classroom, they were able to bring their drums to art class to paint traditional First Nation symbols.

That day I left work knowing the students had a better understanding of the local First Nations culture and appreciation for Squamish and Líl’wat Nations.

Inspire. Discover.Connect.

Connecting Youth to the Outdoors with Inspiring Courses and Tours Since 1981

Since 1981, Ocean River’s qualified and skilled instructors have inspired and educated students by making each and every program fun and interactive.

Ocean River specializes in tailoring programs specifically designed for your group’s needs. Special lessons, tour programs and pricing is available to local community centres and school groups. Programs can range from basic 2 hour kayak instructional tours to week long group kayak excursions. Ocean River is structured to work with your needs to design a custom tour or course, including incorporating school curriculum – be it Phys Ed, Science, Biology or Geography to name a few.

Conveniently located right on Victoria’s beautiful Upper Harbour, Ocean River easily accommodates groups of up to 30 students for kayak tours or up to 20 Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP). With parking for vans or buses, our harbour location is set up for organized and safe departures with the calm waters of Victoria Harbour, making for an excursion not soon to be forgotten. Safety is paramount at Ocean River. We operate in strict accordance with Transport Canada regulations and all guides are certified. Paddle Canada certification is also possible for many of the programs taught at Ocean River Adventures. Industry ratios are never exceeded with a maximum of 6 students to 1 guide.

Please contact us for any information. We are passionate about what we do and would love to get your students ‘out there’.

Introduce your kids to the outdoors – Kayaking and SUP are lifelong sports!

Vancouver Island


The Johnstone Strait, Blackfish Sound and the Broughton Archipelago are home to a bounty of nature’s magnificence, including orcas (killer whales), humpback whales, Steller sea lions, dolphins, porpoises, bald eagles and so much more. Every trip from our base in Telegraph Cove or Campbell River on Vancouver Island is an adventure of a lifetime.

Once you board our custom-built whale-watching boats, we will guide you through the passages and around the islands that are teeming with wildlife in one of the most beautiful locations on British Columbia’s coast.

It’s Whale School for Kids! Experiential education at its best

Students are outside learning from nature, facilitated by an on-board biologist and/or certified teacher.* Whale School tours are aimed at increasing interest, connection and positive action for marine mammals as ambassadors for our life-sustaining seas.

Please see this link for information about the comfort and safety of our vessels http://www.stubbs-island.com/our-boats.

For the calibre of our crew please see http://www.stubbs-island.com/crew.

Whale School tours are available from both Campbell River and Telegraph Cove. Trips at any time of the year offer good opportunities for wildlife sightings. It appears not to be common knowledge that trips early in the school year (from September to early November) are the ideal in terms of diversity of species. It is very common to see orcas, humpback whales, Steller sea lions, Dall’s porpoises, Pacific white-sided dolphins and harbour seals at this time of the year.

*When possible, school tours are conducted by our Education and Conservation Advisor who is a certified biology teacher and award-winning marine educator.

Beneath the Surface – School Tour Program

School tours are conducted by our highly experienced educator and biologist to provide age-appropriate marine education from a full ecosystem perspective.

Exposure to the life of the “Emerald Sea” will allow students to acquire in-depth knowledge of the marine ecosystem and develop an understanding of the need for conservation. The MV Lukwa, with ample space both on deck and inside, is ideal for school groups.

School program includes:

• A slide presentation illustrating the diversity and classification of marine life

• Service of a highly experienced biology teacher

• Tour of marine mammal artifacts

• Interpretative information of all life and historic sites seen

• Acoustic samples of various cetaceans

Program can be enhanced to include:

• More detailed cultural information

• A tide pool walk

• Information directed specifically at classification of invertebrates

• Multiple day activities, potentially with lodging in Telegraph Cove, also available.

“Beneath the Surface” – Program, Advanced Educational Tours (Post-Secondary)

The Advanced Education Programs are tailor-made for post-secondary groups to provide field experience for classes in classification, ethology, environmental science and tourism.

The research that has been conducted in the area attests to its being an ideal location to study marine organisms. The biodiversity of the area, indeed, makes it a marine wonderland. Stubbs Island Whale Watching is able to provide the ethics and expertise essential to the quality demanded for post-secondary purposes.

Our experiences over the past quarter century allow us to develop custom tours.
