MYP Outdoor Education Trip

Last week the MYP students went to Strathcona Park Lodge on Vancouver Island. Rock climbing, canoeing, high ropes and zip lines were just a few of the activities that they enjoyed. The students worked as a team to paddle their canoes, and to safely traverse the high ropes and zip lines. They also learned about minimal impact camping and some wilderness skills, such as making a toothbrush from a willow branch, and making rope from cedar bark. The students camped "without leaving a trace", which included the pleasure of licking their bowl and cup clean after each camp meal.
