Grade 9 Optional Sailing Trip | Spring 2025

We are determining dates (April 2025) for students in grade 9 to participate in a multi- day optional trip to Victoria, British Columbia for a sailing trip. This year we are sailing with SEAS. 

Optional trips such as these are a unique opportunity to participate in learning from a different location alongside peers and staff. Optional trips are paid fully by families and bursaries are not available. The cost of the trip is approximately $3 000.00 including flights, transportation, meals, instruction and all activities for the duration of the trip.

The program provides opportunities to learn:  

  • Basic sailing techniques and procedures
  • Nautical Science- knots, lines and vessel care
  • Kayaking, hiking, Marine Biology & Ecology
  • Community Living, Coast Salish culture
  • The history of the Gulf Islands and B.C. Coast
