YMCA Camp Elphinstone offers the best of the great outdoors

W

ith fresh air, open skies and a diverse ecosystem, the Pacific Northwest is an ideal environment for exploration and discovery. That’s why the YMCA transforms their summer overnight camp, YMCA Camp Elphinstone, to an outdoor learning haven for children and youth during the school year.

Located on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of BC, two kilometres north of the Langdale ferry terminal and just a 40-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver, YMCA Camp Elphinstone boasts more than 140 acres of oceanfront property, lush rainforest and quiet creeks. It’s no wonder they’ve been providing unique outdoor experiences to kids since 1907.

Their outdoor education programs are designed to get kids active and learning outside. Through meaningful, experiential learning, YMCA staff facilitate a wide variety of hands-on activities and students are challenged outside the traditional classroom. Programming is carefully planned to provide quality learning opportunities and is designed to meet provincial prescribed learning outcomes.

Y staff work with educators to ensure that programming is developmentally appropriate and schedules are planned to achieve group goals. Some examples of the most popular types of programming, favoured by educators, include: marine beach study, discovery hike or voyageur canoeing. And of course, kids can’t get enough of their climbing wall, archery ranges, and camp fires!

Y staff are also able to play a hands-off role should educators wish to take the lead in facilitating learning experiences (certain activities require Y staff due to safety). The Y boasts an impressive staff team, with highly trained leaders, with expertise in areas such as wildlife safety and healthy child development.

YMCA Camp Elphinstone is able to accommodate up to 450 participants and offers two types of accommodation—lodges and cabins—all of which offer electricity and heat. Lodges feature private washrooms, cozy lounges, mini kitchenettes and lockers to secure belongings. Cabins have washrooms and showers nearby in a separate building.

The Y makes sure kids are full of healthy and nutritious meals during their stay, serving appetizing, kid-friendly meals served family or buffet style. Participants can expect meals such as pancakes or scrambled eggs and hash browns for breakfast, macaroni and cheese or tacos for lunch, and chicken and potatoes or stir-fry for dinner. Meals also include endless salad bars at lunch and dinner or cereal and fruit bars at breakfast. They are able to accommodate most dietary needs including vegetarian, vegan, lactose or gluten intolerant, diabetic and celiac at no additional cost. Single meals are available for day-use only groups.

Prices range depending on the type of accommodation and time of year—low season rates are offered November through April. Since the YMCA is a charity, they also offer financial assistance made possible through fundraising efforts in the community, to ensure that all kids get a chance to experience learning in the great outdoors. They also have a slew of recommendations on ways for groups to fundraise their trip.

Spaces book quickly, so inquire early to secure dates and get a customized quote. To learn more, contact 604-886-2025, elphinstone@gv.ymca.ca or visit their website (gv.ymca.ca/ elphinstone).

Two of our boys it turns out have never been overnight camping before. We spent almost the whole day debriefing – created a timeline, a word for every hour of our trip, artistic renderings of our favorite moments and acting out those epic activities. Thanks so much for giving us such a wonderful learning outdoor experience. I never thought I would hear the class raving so much and they also loved the food!” ~ Evergreen School

Africville education kit

Kit Includes:

- curriculum resources - interactive floor map - community place markers - audio CD

ABC

Resources help teachers and students discuss important topics such as racism, community, the United Nations, and oppression.

Contact (902) 455-6558 or admin@africvillemuseum.org for more information.

Africville Museum Africville was an historic black community established in the 1700s on the shores of the Bedford Basin in Halifax, NS. The lands were expropriated in the 1960s, and the community’s church was bulldozed in the middle of the night. Housed in a replica of the church, the museum tackles topics such as environmental racism, oppression, and community with students of all ages. Our Educational Resource Kit allows teachers to address these topics in class as a stand-alone resource or as preparation for a visit to the Africville site. b.c. school destinations directory

Best Day Ever

SkyTrek Adventure Park SkyTrek Adventure Park is an aerial adventure park filled with fun and exciting games in the trees for students two and older. Students and teachers can challenge themselves on the aerial trekking course and get a rush of adrenaline at the adventure tower.

Students who are 4’7” tall and 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 properly move through the trees. Throughout the course, students and teachers will be encouraged to use their problem solving skills and build self-confidence by overcoming obstacles.

The Adventure Tower is filled with adrenaline-pumping fun. There’s a 40-foot-high simulated free fall, a 50-foot giant swing, a swinging log with climbing holds, and two different climbing walls.

Students who are five years of age and 3’7” tall can participate in our Kid’s Tree Adventure, a smaller version of our aerial trekking course. These children can also participate in our newest activity, the Sky Climb.

This activity is tough on the climber and gentle on the tree.

Students ages two to 12 can participate in our harness-free jungle gym challenge course, which is surrounded by netting for little ones to run free. Our jungle gym includes unlimited laps and finishes with a zip-line!

This activity is also ideal for any special need students.

The activities at Sky Trek Adventure Park encourage teamwork and inspire self-confidence. Students help motivate and encourage each other, as well as celebrate each other’s success. At our park, many people are safely taken out of their comfort zone and exposed to something brand new. We try and make their experiences as fun and as memorable as possible.

See you in the tree! b.c. school destinations directory

Hyak River Rafting

F

or us at Hyak Wilderness Adventures, outdoor education is a fundamental part of our company values. We believe we are responsible for getting youth involved with the natural environment and especially with our rivers. Our rafting expeditions are the perfect opportunity to teach and learn about geography, history, and the state of the environment we live in today. Using the Thompson River Valley as our classroom, we get students involved with their eco-system, in a fun and safe environment.

where everyone participates, helps and discovers their wild side.

Every adventure is unique with Hyak. We use paddle rafts or power rafts to accommodate groups from 10 years of age. All our school trips are private; we customize the trip to meet the school’s needs.

It works wonderfully at the beginning of the school year (September) to integrate everyone for the upcoming year or at the end of the year as a closing activity to celebrate with an activity to remember.

Our school rafting trips are an unforgettable experience; we provide a life-changing experience for teachers and their students. For many, it’s their first time camping under the stars and joking around the camp fire.

Seycove High school from Deep Cove has celebrated their high school graduation with us for over ten years.

After their graduation, they join our team on the river to carry on celebrating and living an unforgettable moment among friends, teachers, and parents.

We offer a full-day trip or a two-day rafting trip with camping. We provide all meals, camping equipment and transport. Fantasy Island is our private and isolated camp, located in the middle of the river surrounded by beautiful Canadian wilderness.

Since 1980, Hyak Wilderness Adventures has been committed to offering B.C.’s finest rafting experience.

Over 250,000 rafters from all over the world have enjoyed our first-class river rafting trips.

Rafting requires teamwork to achieve objectives, so students work together while floating down the river and setting up the camp. It is a hands-on experience

If you want more than just an adventure for your students, our environmental awareness rafting trips make sense. Let us make a positive impact on society while making the minimum impact on the environment.

info@hyak.com | 604 734 8622 www.hyak.com If you’re looking for a perfect weekend of camping and rafting, Hyak’s Fantasy Island trip definitely packs a solid punch! I brought a group of 60 students on the trip, and everyone had the time of their lives! Their staff was really friendly and they really took good care of everything, packing up equipment, helping with tents, and even cooking up fantastic meals for everyone. The camping, rafting, and just the overall experience was so great that now everybody keeps asking when the next trip is going to be!”

In 1997 David and Linda Penn took over the Bear Creek Park Train & Mini-golf facility. It is a privately owned business run by Linda Penn. The trains were brought over from England and the city of Surrey agreed to let us to run the train in Bear Creek Park.

David had a passion for the train and for the children. He designed the special events to delight the children, and he loved doing it until his death in 2012.

The 18-hole golf course was added in 2009. It is a landscaped course that meanders amongst the redwoods. It provides lots of fun for your family or school group!

Our outreach programs cover several topics within Processes of Science, Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth and Space Science as outlined under the BC curriculum prescribed learning outcomes. Groups can book an hourlong hands-on workshop during which students will learn how to identify minerals and rocks, how fossils are preserved, or how and why volcanoes erupt explosively (pme.ubc.ca/educationalprograms/workshops). In addition to a workshop, your group can book a guided tour of the museum’s exhibits (pme.ubc.ca/educationalprograms/ group-tours) and/or an exclusive 30-minute show and tell of our famous OmniGlobe (pme.ubc.ca/educationalprograms/ omniglobe-tours).

Schools can take a museum-led program or opt for a self-guided visit. Find lesson plans to use before, during, and after your visit on our Educator Resource page beatymuseum.ubc.ca/educator-resources.

Spend a full day at the museum by combining a program with a range of daily activities, including documentaries, hands-on activities, and the opportunity to use the museum as an alternative class space.

Dragon Boat BC The Dragon Zone Paddling Club believes that everyone should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of sport. We have created programs that encourage high school students to try out dragon boating and create their own teams. The Dragon Zone Paddling Club also provides supported programs to youth in order to remove any financial barriers that prevent them from participating in on-water activities.

Junior Programs Overview: Various programs are available to school groups, community centres and youth organizations that include the use of all equipment (boats, paddles and personal floatation devices).

One Time On-Water Paddling Experience: This program introduces youth to the sport of dragon boating. Come out for 1.5 hours of activities that starts with basic paddling instruction and finishes with a race on the water.

Supported Youth Team program: This program is for high school students who wish to organize a team, but don’t have an adult sponsor or coach. The Club arranges for training for each team with instruction and coaching, and guide students toward self-management, teaching them important life skills such as peer communication, responsibility and organizational skills. Participation in the Concord Pacific Vancouver Dragon Boat Festival races is free of charge to these junior teams.

It incorporates state-of-the-art technology to bring you some of Canada’s most thrilling sights like you have never seen them before. You will hang suspended, feet dangling, immersed in a huge 20-metre spherical screen while you are taken on a thrilling journey from east to west across Canada.

The complete FlyOver Canada experience takes approximately 30 minutes. This includes the pre-show Uplift, pre boarding zone and the 8 minute Ultimate Flying Ride.

We recommend groups to allow 4560 minutes for a visit which includes walking form the front of Canada Place to the entrance, check in of bags, ticket collection, joining the queue and the complete 30 minute FlyOver Canada experience.

FlyOver Canada’s location and the relatively short time commitment required make it a perfect activity for a downtown class outing. It can be easily combined with a trip to Port Metro Vancouver, the Art Gallery (a short walk away), or Science World (via Skytrain).

DISCOVER CANADA’S LARGEST PORT The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s school program helps students build awareness about the port, the role it plays, and how it connects to their everyday life. The program offers a memorable, interactive and fun learning and field trip experience.

Students learn about Canada’s largest and most diversified port through activities such as: • Map Puzzle – 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.

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

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

• Import Story – 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.’

• Scavenger Hunt – Students learn more about the port as they search for answers on our interactive touch screen benches.

See what teachers have been saying about our program: “I was impressed with the quality of hands-on materials and fun, interactive activities. I have already recommended the program to colleagues.”

“The presentation was extremely well run: excellent pacing, interactive, informative, and very engaging.”

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

Kid- AND Adult-friendly fun all year round!

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 sales@tbcir.ca.

A CULTURAL JOURNEY TO THE SQUAMISH LÍL’ WAT CULTURAL CENTRE WHISTLER, BRITISH COLUMBIA

CUSTOMIZING FIELD TRIPS FOR SCHOOL PROJECTS 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.

A UNIQUE AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE FOR ALL AGES!

DR. SUN YAT-SEN CLASSICAL CHINESE GARDEN

A classical Chinese garden is as unique as a thumbprint and its own work of art. The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, the first of its kind outside of China, is an inspiring example of two cultures coming together to create a window into a traditional world containing lessons relevant to today.

A magical place filled with stories of ancient people and mythical animals, the Garden is a piece of nature perfect for multi-sensory learning. Our school programs make for fun and engaging field trips for students of all ages and are also designed to meet the learning

outcomes of the BC provincial curriculum.

Program topics include life in Ming dynasty China (1368-1644), immigration to BC, science and technology, festivals and holidays, philosophy and symbolic creatures. Try Dragon Boat Paddling with your students, add on our historic Chinatown Walking Tour, or a Tai Chi lesson to any program.

This Ming Dynasty style classical Chinese garden is a living museum, a community gathering place, an art gallery and a classroom.

For more information, please contact the Education Manager at 604-662-3207 ext.205 or education@vancouverchinesegarden.com
