Testimonials

I was able to get a credit that counted towards my high school and have an adventure. It was a huge win, win and turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life.
- Jacob, 16

I’m so glad I had the opportunity to experience this course and that the two-week expedition in the Rockies counted towards my Silver Duke of Ed. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
- Naieri, 15

This course helped me realize that I am capable of so much more than I think. I’m ready to take on whatever life has to throw at me!
- Jamal, 17

I saw my students actually participate in a full day of school… Not complain about the cold or the activities, and smile all of the day.
- Wendy Blain, Principal

There’s nothing that helps a group grow more than shared trials and experiences. We learned that first hand and now our group is stronger as a result.
- Tasveer, 16

During my course, I gained a sense of confidence in myself that I did not have before… The sense of pride I had in my own ability to push through and beat my inner voice.
- Recipient, RBC future launch leadership award for Indigenous youth
