TEEPEE
or GEO-DOME CAMPING - $5 per person, per night
Leave your tents at home! For a truly unique experience

Teepees. Traditional features such as hand-peeled poles and
roll-up door are combined with modern conveniences such as
raised sleeping platforms and modern materials. Or our large

"adventure expedition" feel. These spacious teepees

areas for group tenting. Each group tenting area includes picnic

ROCK CLIMBING / RAPPEL
PROGRAMS - $26 per person *
Try the challenge of natural rock. Our most popular
program is designed to provide basic experience "on-rope"
in a fun and supportive environment. Excellent for beginners
or as a progression from indoor climbing walls. Program choices
range from easy top-rope climbs to challenging overhanging
rappels and are matched with the age and ability level of
the group. All participants are instructed in climbing safety
and fitted with UIAA approved helmets, harnesses and climbing
gear. While on the rock, climbers are secured by a safety
line at all times.
"A
"real-life" experience in learning to trust. We'll be
back!" Cathy
Thicke - Tofino
WILDERNESS
SKILLS - $19 per person *
This fun and informative program will teach the essentials of outdoor survival
skills. Along the Wilderness Trail we build (and climb into)
debris shelters, identify local trees and edible plants, teach
basic fire lighting techniques as well as "lost
proofing" and wilderness navigation. Useful stuff!
NOTE -
Per activity prices are Group Rates for 12 participants or more.
CANOE AND WATER SAFETY PROGRAM
- $21 per person *
Our Canoe / Water Safety program is designed to introduce
students to basic canoe handling and pre-tip planning to increase
their confidence and safety on the water. Paddle strokes,
proper entry /exit, emergency procedures and the importance
of wearing P.F.D.'s and appropriate clothing will be taught.
Since almost everybody will find themselves in a canoe at
some time in their lives, we feel that a little instruction
goes a long way toward the safety and enjoyment of the sport.
Our instructors can instruct and certify students from Level
1 (Beginner Tandem) to Level IV (Advanced Solo).
TEAM BUILDING / INITIATIVE GAMES -
$19 per person
*
What can you learn from "Nuclear Waste" or a "Spider's
Web"? This session will run through a series of games
starting with introductory ice-breakers that will assist everyone
in working together. Then groups are presented with challenges
that require "creative solutions". Along the way,
students learn a lot about themselves and communicating with
others. A great way to get everyone "in the zone".
NOTE -
Per activity prices are Group Rates for 12 participants or more.
CHALLENGE OBSTACLE COURSE
- $19 per person *
An excellent follow-up to the Initiative Games that puts team
building and problem solving skills to the test. Teams must
successfully navigate the "Alligator Swamp" by negotiating
past rope swings, log crossings, and the "collapsed bridge".
Nobody survives without good teamwork!
HORNE LAKE AMAZING RACE -
$15 per person
Fun and excitement await on the Horne Lake
Amazing Race, an adventure similar to the popular TV show but
delivered in a beautiful park setting. Participants race in
small groups while
experiencing some healthy competition from other teams.
Working together, teams try to problem-solve a variety
of outdoor
challenges, navigate trails, find secret clue boxes and more.
But this race will not necessarily be won by the first
team to finish . . . there is more than one way to win so
check it out!
EVENING CAMPFIRE GUITAR or
STORYTELLING - $7 per person
Nothing finishes off a hard day better than relaxing around
the fire roasting marshmallows. Evening entertainment includes
guitar sing-alongs or fascinating storytelling next to the
campfire.
NATURE CRAFTS - $7 per person
An excellent "quiet time" activity that offers a
balance to the full-on physical adventure. Gather your materials
from the forest and be creative!
BEACH GAMES - $7 per person
Free time can include some fun play on the beach. Hours of
fun playing classic games and new ones including "Capture
the Flag" at night. Makes for an excellent way to fill
in free time and burn up those excess calories!
