Grouse Mountain is closed due to the COVID Virus. This trip is cancelled. 

Students in Grades 3 and up are invited to join us for a field trip to Grouse Mountain, located at 6400 Nancy Green Way in North Vancouver on Thursday, April 9, 2020 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Our day will begin with Alpine Wilderness Safety, which offers a unique blend of hands-on safety/survival skills and outdoor adventure experiences. Then we’ll have a Snowshoe tour that will lead students on a journey through a winter wonderland on a fun snowy adventure. Students will explore snowshoeing technique, learn about winter conditions, hazards and terrain. After lunch, we’ll then have a 45-minute hiwus presentation. The híwus Feasthouse is the meeting place, to enjoy a full day of vivid legends, songs, dances and crafts. Step into an authentic Pacific Northwest Longhouse and let a Squamish First Nations Elder take you back in time to discover the traditional way of life of our First Nations people.

We will send home a detailed timeline closer to the date. For now, please mark your calendars to meet at 9:30am at the base of the Mountain. We will head up together on the 9:45am tram. The fieldtrip will be supervised by Home Quest staff and parent volunteers. Please bring only small backpacks with a water bottle and lunch. Dress in layers appropriate for being outdoors in the snow. Additional information can be found here.
