The kids had an amazing day, the kind lifelong memories are made of.
Erica McArthur, Teacher, Riverside Secondary School, Port Coquitlam, March 2019

The students had a great day. The organization of lunch was much better, although we were a bit short on tables and chairs. The instructors were so wonderful and knowledgeable. The support in the rentals was plentiful, patient and interested in helping the students. Cudos to a great team.

YOU GUYS ROCK!!! We absolutely loved our time and will be back next year!!
Adam Roberts, Teacher, Earl Marriott Secondary School, Surrey, January 2019

Just want to say thank you for making our day at Mt Seymour a big success. I heard so many positive feedback comments from the staff and students at Fraser River Middle school regarding the instructors and rental shop staff members. The patience, helpfulness and positive encouragement from everyone was amazing. I love how everyone at Mt Seymour works collectively to make the students and adults experience feel memorable. We had a lot of students today first time skiing or snowboarding. Judging from the positive feedback and response, it won't be the last time they come back to Mt Seymour. Please pass on a big thank you to the instructors and rental staff members. They were amazing and stood out in so many positive ways.
Ken Leung, Grade 7 Teacher, Fraser River Middle School, New Westminster, February 2018

Thank you so much for a FANTASTIC day at Mt Seymour Chris and Gail and your whole army of staff!!!  I would describe the day as flawless!  We as a staff really appreciated how highly organized and helpful the staff was in getting the ski tags on coats, into the rental hut and outfitting the kids with equipment, to organizing them into groups and getting them out on the hills!  We have received excellent feedback from our students. For the vast majority of our students, this was their first experience at Mt Seymour. I have heard that many students are planning on coming up to Mt Seymour with their parents . I was hoping to secure a date for next school year as soon as possible so we can do this again next school year.
Kim Johal, Queensborough Middle School, New Westminster, March 2018

The trip was perfect Gail. Thank you so much for being so accommodating. I will highly recommend you to my fellow PE teachers in other schools. From the instructors to the organization, it went really well. Also the weather helped a lot!  Hopefully we will get to do a longer trip next year.
Kelly Hackett, Pythagoras Academy, Richmond, December 2017

I just want to send a shout out to Chris and the Ski Instructors at Mt Seymour. Our School took part in a 4-session ski/board lesson program as part of a school field trip and were more than pleased with their dedication to teaching the kids to ride/ski and the organization of their program. This was our first year and we looked at all the Mountains in the lower mainland. We chose Mt Seymour due to the size of the mountain and the amazing program they offer. Chris has always been available to answer my questions and take care of anything we needed. I highly recommend Mt Seymour as your first choice for your ski/board school trip. Thank you to the Staff at Mt Seymour for assisting in making our school ski trip so memorable.
Stefanie Eastcott, PAC President, Belmont Elementary, Langley School District, 2017

Everyone (parents and teachers included) had an amazing time and the guides worked well with the students and adults.  We will be looking forward to booking next year.  The combination of tobogganing and snowshoeing was great. It gave the students a chance to enjoy an activity they would not normally get (snowshoeing) with a more dynamic/exciting activity (togogganing).
Craig Thomas, Beaconsfield Elementary, Vancouver, 2017

Thanks again for being an incredible host for our field trip. By all accounts from chatting with kids on the bus home and at school today, students enjoyed themselves on the mountain, despite the soggy conditions. As always, your staff was awesome!  I had the opportunity to be in a snowshoeing group with Ben (one of your instructors). He was amazing!  Seriously outstanding. Great rapport with the kids, encouraging and very knowledgeable.
Cory Beisiegel, W.A. Fraser Middle School, Abbotsford, 2017

We had a great time and our snowshoe guide was very patient with a high-energy group of boys. I also want to let you know that one of your male staff members, went out of their way to drive my student with cerebral palsy from the main hut to the tube park. Then at the tube park other staffers accommodated his disabilities by helping him to the cable and allowing him to the front. You and your staff are doing an amazing job of working with the schools and with disabled students.
Doug Hume, Pitt Meadows Elementary, Pitt Meadows, 2017

The kids all had fun last Wednesday. I think they have all found a new passion. Thank you to your wonderful instructors who were so patient with them.
Heidi Dy, South Delta Home Learners, 2017

I loved that the kids got to work with actual tools like the tarp, rope, and shovels. They really enjoyed the little 'snow melting' setup they had to build too.  It was a really nice, neat package that each guide had with them for their group.
Amanda Coutts, Confederation Park Elementary, Burnaby, 2017

We loved the field trip and the students all mentioned it as their favourite Grade 7 memory in the yearbook.
Candice Loh, Ecole Riverdale Elementary, Surrey, 2015

Thank you so much for making our trips to Mt Seymour such a stress-free, streamlined, positive experience. I just really appreciated working with you through the weeks and months prior to our event. Thank you, too, to the amazing, professional staff who made the lessons fantastic for the kids. They will remember these days for the rest of their lives. I look forward to next year! Thank you!
Sheila Hutchinson, Montgomery Middle School, Coquitlam, 2015

I just wanted to say a huge 'Thank-you' to you and your staff for being so helpful and patient with our students. Your special needs teachers were awesome!  I've noticed a big improvement in your overall customer service/relations, and we were all very pleased with this year's Mt Seymour experience. Keep it up!
Darrell Reimer, Band/Music/Gr 7 Teacher, Richmond Christian Middle School, 2015

Thanks so much! You and your team made the experience life-memorable! I so appreciate your attention to detail and your flexibility. Looking forward to another great program next year!
Diane Ehling, Vice-Principal, Cove Cliff Elementary School, North Vancouver, 2015

Your level of organization with groups is so beautifully streamlined and efficient, and each and every staff member who assisted us (working through paperwork details, meeting the bus, Rentals, Ski Patrol, instructors, lift attendants, cafeteria) was warm, knowledgeable and went out of their way to help. Our staff and parents were very impressed, but of course it is the students' voices that speak loudest.
Arlene Martin, Principal, Brooksbank Elementary, North Vancouver, 2013

CURRICULUM LINKS FOR SCHOOL PROGRAMS

At Mt Seymour, we understand that the BC Schools Curriculum is evolving and changing, especially to include more experiential education and place-based learning. We’d love to help your classes make this transition! Below we have detailed some important linkages, both broad and specific, between our outdoor education programs and the proposed new curriculum. We focus on learning by doing and aim to help students experience the mountain environment using all of their senses, thereby laying a foundation for further growth and inquiry. It is our goal to spark an interest in your students that will assist them to express and reflect on a variety of experiences, perspectives and worldviews through place, with that place being Mt Seymour, the sub-alpine and British Columbia as a whole. 

Core Curriculum Linkages
Critical and Creative Thinking
Many of our programs will get students thinking about the world around them and discovering out of the box links between nature and humans. Seymour History Gameshow uses the art of questioning to help students solve mysteries concerning Mt Seymour`s natural and cultural history.

Personal Awareness and Responsibility
Our Snowshoe Showdown program will get your students active and having fun! These programs aim to cultivate an enjoyment of outdoor recreation in the winter environment and teach students how they can stay active and healthy both on and off the mountain. Additionally, our Winter Survival Challenge programming will have students think about being responsible for themselves when enjoying the great outdoors and make them aware of steps to stay safe whether they are enjoying nature in the winter, summer or anything in between.

Social Responsibility
We are lucky enough to have our programs take place in a BC Provincial Park, and we take our responsibility to pass that information on very seriously! Your students will learn about our place in the mountain ecosystem and how they can help to protect it. This theme is recurrent in many of our programs, however Nature Games and Sustainability on Snow are particularly relevant. We feel that these programs will also help your students gain an understanding of contributing to community and caring for the environment.

Communication
We recognize that sometimes students need a gentle nudge to work together and learn more about each other.  We have various activities, such as shelter building and solving complex challenges that will get your students excited about teamwork! Our Autumn Outdoor Program will have students showcase the skills they have learned throughout the day in a team setting, while The Snowshoe Snowdown has plenty of games, challenges and puzzles to keep your students entertained and working collaboratively.

Finally, students will experience and interpret the local environment through the help of our highly qualified guides! Our guides can help students to spot patterns and relationships in the mountain ecosystem, which may then be applied to their thought process back in the classroom. The Winter Discovery tour is a great introduction to get your students engaged and thinking about what they see, feel, smell, taste, hear and experience on the mountain.

Course Specific Linkages
Science K-9: Many of our programs discuss life cycles and features of living organisms as well as the interactions of plants and animals with their environment. Our curricula are particularly aligned with biology and earth science learning outcomes and can be made to suit any grade level. For younger groups we would suggest Winter Discovery or Nature Games to get students thinking about the plants and animals of Mount Seymour, how they interact and survive in the mountain ecosystem.

Social Studies K-9: All of our programs focus on the place-based education that is stressed in the evolving social studies curriculum, however Seymour History Gameshow would be particularly helpful to classes interested in learning about what life was like on the mountain before roads and ski lifts, how people have interacted with the area over the years, and about local First Nations cultures.

Environmental Science and Human Geography 11-12: Sustainability on Snow is a great first step to get students thinking about how human activities change landscapes in a variety of ways. The program also aims to achieve the learning outcome that “healthy systems are resilient, interconnected and adapted ” by using nature`s own examples of sustainability. Students will also learn how humans have modelled many of our own technologies after the earth through processes of biomimicry. For students considering careers in the earth or environmental sciences field, Navigate Nature is a great introduction to maps and bearings.

Physical Health Education K-12: All of our programs will have students out and about, experiencing the mountain on snowshoes or their own two feet. We make sure that educational stops are broken up with exploration and games to keep your class moving. Specifically, our Snowshoe Showdown program will help students “explore methods of monitoring and adjusting exertion levels in physical activity“ as well as gain an appreciation of outdoor recreation. Nature Games, Snowshoe Showdown and Winter Survivor Challenge will help younger students to “develop and demonstrate safety, fair play and leadership in physical activities“. We are in the business of teaching students to get excited about being outside and exploring the natural world, which is beneficial to the physical, emotional and mental health of all children.

Physical Geography and Earth Science 11-12: Seymour History Gameshow delves into basic plate tectonics as well as how natural processes have shaped the landscape and contributed to human uses of it.
