Education Group Tours

The Gold rush era was one of the most exciting periods in Canada’s history, changing the face of British Columbia forever!  Our Education Programs offer students the opportunity to explore BC’s rich cultural history through active, outdoor learning.

Our hands-on programs connect with the new BC Curriculum for Social Studies (Grades 1 – 6) and History (Grade 7 and up).


Groups may choose either Walking Through Time or Games of the Secwepmc and one activity to create a customized tour.

Cost:  $15 + GST  per student   

 

  • The program and additional activities rates are based on a minimum of 10 students.
  • For every 10 students, 1 chaperon (teacher/parent) is welcome at no charge.  Additional adults are welcome at the same as student rates.
  • Lunches are available for an additional cost, see menu in the meals section, or bring your own lunches and take a break under the picnic shelter.
  • We would be pleased to customize your program to meet your students’ learning objectives, just reach out to us.
