Projects

2023 Climate Change Summer Camp

During the camp, students delved into diverse climate change concepts, with a focus on forestry, water, and wildlife. High student engagement was fostered through hands-on experiments, insightful talks by local guest speakers, and a field trip to our nearby CSKT Division of Fire, Forestry, and McDonald Lake. This immersive experience allowed students to grasp the tangible effects of climate change on both global and local ecosystems, empowering them with the knowledge to contribute towards a healthier and more sustainable future.
