The Sustainable Wilderness Class is beginning classroom instruction, but the course focuses on hands-on experiences through mandatory field trips. Parents are asked to review 7 listed trips taking place over the next 5 months and determine if the course is suitable for their child. A $140 payment is requested by February 26th to cover costs of the trips, which include canoeing, camping, survival skills, fishing, archery, and climbing. Students must return signed permission slips to participate in activities and gain the required experiences to complete the course.

To Parents The Sustainable Wilderness Class is underway and we are starting to cover the course material in the classroom. However the course of Sustainable Wilderness / Outdoor Education is all about experiences and gaining the knowledge by doing activities. Many of the activities have costs and are mandatory for course completion. The more activities the students go on the better the experiences. Please discuss the field trips listed below and determine if this is the class for your child. At this time, if you see concerns to having your son or daughter participate in these activities a course change is still possible. In order for us to plan on numbers, dates and times of each trip we are asking all students continuing on with the course to please send a cheque of $140.00 made payable to St. James Collegiate by Thursday, February 26th. Proper trip planning has to take place before each trip and all the proper paper work has to be in place before we can go. Students will be receiving several field trip permission slips throughout the next five months. In order to participate in the fun, hands on activities the permission slips must be signed and brought back to their designated teacher. Mandatory trips and activity 1. St James Civic Center Pool for Canoe and water safety $10.00 2. Rushing River Class Camping Trip (3 days, 2 nights) $90.00 Final Exam 3. Fort Whyte Alive Wilderness Survival $10.00 4. Ice Fishing Field Trip - $5.00 5. Silver Heights Archery Lanes - $10.00 6. Vertical Adventures Wall Climbing - $15.00 7. Bike Safety and trip to Assiniboine Park (no cost) Students that can drive to the activities in Winnipeg need to have the proper paper work in and signed with a copy of their drivers license. If your son or daughter has already completed this paperwork for a sports team or other school event they will not need to fill it a second time. Staff members or a professional bus driver will be transporting students outside of the perimeter. Sincerely,
