Horne Lake Expedition
Grade 8 Class heads outdoors
Just a week into their Shawnigan careers, 37 Grade 8 students boarded a bus and ventured to Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park.
For two days and two nights, the group enjoyed caving, rappelling and kayaking while sleeping in tents in the great outdoors.
The annual trip is an opportunity for the class to bond as a group while learning about camping, outdoor adventures and the local ecosystem. The trip also served as a leadership opportunity, with seven Grade 12's leading daytime and campfire activities.
Arising early in the morning, the weary travellers arrived back at School in time for Saturday Chapel and sport.
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.
