Grade 8s visit Horne Lake Caves
Grade 8 students are getting used to life outside of their comfort zone.
In just the second week of term, 40 Grade 8s ventured to Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park for a three-day camping excursion.
The trip included an afternoon of guided exploration of the caves themselves, plus rappelling, kayaking, and team-building activities. The students slept in tents, and also enjoyed games and time spent by the campfire.
Building on a Shawnigan tradition, much of the heavy lifting on the trip was done by six leaders from the Grade 12 class.
We acknowledge with respect the Coast Salish Peoples on whose traditional lands and waterways we live, learn and play. We are grateful for the opportunity to share in this beautiful region, and we aspire to healthy and respectful relationships with those who have lived on and cared for these lands for millennia.
Shawnigan Lake School is an independent co-educational boarding school for ages 13 –18 on Canada’s beautiful West Coast. Our diverse, interdisciplinary and innovative programming helps shape the next generation of global leaders.
