“Bodwell provides lots of structure, but also treats us like people. I feel respect from every teacher and administrator. We learn a lot more in our classes, compared with other schools I have attended. Our classes are longer, which is much better than short periods when nothing much gets done. I love learning about different cultures. There are people here from countries I always wanted to know more about.” – Kayla Buksa, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Outdoor Education

Students at Bodwell have easy access to numerous national and provincial parks for outdoor education and nature study. Examples include the Maple Wood Conservation Area, which is a 35-hectare of birds and wildlife habitat, the Seymour River Salmon Hatchery, and the Lynn Canyon Park, which offers 250 hectares of west coast rain forest with scenic canyons, pools, and creeks.

In the winter, we drive 20 minutes to Cypress Mountain, Mount Seymour, or Grouse Mountain for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and tobogganing. All year round, students can hike, bike, camp, fish, swim, and sail in the numerous national and provincial parks, lakes, beaches, and water inlets.

Educational trips are designed to supplement classroom-learning objectives and allow students an opportunity to see more of Canada. The tours are considered a part of the curriculum and are organized so that each grade will participate in at least one trip during a calendar year.

Trip Destinations around B.C. include:

  • Bowen Island
  • Camp Jubilee in Squamish
  • Cowichan Lake
  • Loon Lake
  • Manning Park
  • Victoria
  • Whistler Mountain
