Skagit Valley Camp
Grade 6
This overnight adventure in the Skagit Valley gives many young people their very first camping experience.
During this one-night, two day camp, four curriculum units are taught outdoors, covering river riparian ecology, hydroelectricity, wildlife, and Skagit human history.
Students also learn some principles of backcountry safety and low-impact camping.
School District 78 Fraser-Cascade plays a leadership role on this trip, with Hope Mountain Centre playing a supporting role focused on curriculum delivery.
A key funder of the Skagit Valley Camp is the Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission (SEEC). SEEC is a Canada-U.S. body supporting science, recreation, and education in the Upper Skagit Watershed upstream of Ross Dam.
