Join Us in Our Quest to Get Kids Outside!

Our Goal
To generate happiness and healthy lives by providing first and lifelong connections to the natural environment.

Why is This Important to Us?

Nature has always been an integral part of the culture at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort. For nearly a century, people have flocked to visit our resort and community with the motivation to disconnect from day-to-day life and reconnect to the natural environment. In 2007, Fairmont Hot Springs Resort began offering yearround interpretive programs and guided tours. Our goal was to create a more meaningful connection between our guests and the resorts natural surroundings. Since our beginning, we have successfully connected thousands of people; hotel guests, valley visitors, children from local schools, adults from large corporations and common-interest groups. Now we are a chief player in the field of experiential and educational vacations. When our team came together to discuss the movement of getting kids back outside and reconnected to nature, we asked ourselves, How can we do more? We took one look around our resort property and realized our answer, Well bring kids here! Join us in our efforts to generate happiness and healthy lives. Open your classroom to the world of nature! Together, we can improve the lives of our children.

Our Philosophies

Guided Learning
At BC Rockies School of Nature, we believe in guided learning as opposed to instructed learning. For most of our programs, we will give students the tools and guidance, but we will allow them to figure out exactly how to complete a task. We will encourage individuals to be thoughtful, learn from their mistakes, and to help others find their own way through positive support. Our team shares the belief that when children are given the opportunity to solve a task or complete a challenge with their own ideas, only then will they experience the true feeling of success and personal growth. This method of teaching also allows individuals to use different learning styles when solving a problem which we believe is important for nurturing each individual child. We ask that all visitors to our facility take on this philosophy as their own and allow children to learn at their own pace and with their own ideas.

Make it FUN!
We incorporate a wide variety of exciting and interactive teaching techniques including drama, storytelling, music, hands-on games and activities. Our programs are educational, engaging and most importantly, FUN! We believe that creating a positive learning experience for a child, will promote that child to remember, enjoy and care about the places and species that they are learning about.

A Little Uncomfortable
We often encourage participants to step out of their comfort zone as it is a way to promote personal growth and positive relationships with peers. Creating situations that require individuals to push their envelope of comfort as a team, often promotes a supportive culture and creates opportunities for individual success.

Do it Without Harm Environmental Stewardship

Educating visitors about the environment is just as important as preserving and protecting the areas and animals we use for education. At BC Rockies School of Nature, we take every step to avoid impacting an area or species negatively and use the highest form of leave no trace practices. While we would prefer that children do not touch creatures, we realize that is not realistic. Therefore, we teach children how to handle a number of species without harm.

Mentors of Awesomeness!
Our Team
We certainly are a colourful bunch! Our team of educators include BC certified teachers, biologists and outdoor specialists. Each educator is carefully selected for their positive personalities, group leadership abilities, and knowledge of the great outdoors. It is important to us that children are learning from positive mentors, who help inspire understanding and appreciation of our natural environment. All instructors have CPR and first aid certification, as well as any other relevant credentials for the programs which they are in charge of.

Preschool
Presentations & Short Walks - Forest Critters Or Feathers & Fur
Join us at the resort for a morning or an afternoon that offers an interactive presentation and short walk in the woods. Presentations touch on subjects suitable for children 4 yrs and younger. To help young children grasps the simple concepts we talk about, we have plenty of touch objects (furs, skulls, teeth, etc) and games to keep young minds excited and engaged.

Kindergarten
What do we have in Common: Plants, Animals and People
All living creatures have many qualities in common. We all need clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, healthy food to eat, somewhere warm to sleep and parents. Lets connect everyone together and learn how much we are all alike. Using touch objects, games and simple artistic exercises students will be inspired to respect themselves and all the similar creatures around them.

Grade 1
Needs of Living Things: The Need for Trees
We are all familiar with them; our giant neighbours that we call trees. But did you know that humans and other animals need trees to survive? Find out why trees are so important to people and other creatures of the forest. Through interactive stories and games, and a short walk (or snowshoe) through the forest; we will discover why trees are important.

Seasonal & Daily Changes: Bears of the 4 Seasons

Bears are fascinating animals! They are perfectly adapted to each of Canadas four seasons. Explore the four different worlds that a bear experiences in the first year of its life. Children will have an opportunity to touch real bear fur, skulls, teeth, and claws. Students will also make their own den for the winter!

Grade 2
Populations: Weaving Life Together
All critters big and small depend on each other for survival. What happens when humans put pressure on certain species? Discover the connections between living things of the Columbia Valley through games and a short walk (or snowshoe) through the forest that focuses on human influence in our local forests.

Air, Water, and Soil: Riparian Habitats

Lets play in the mud and ponds! Through gentle net dipping and critter collection, well investigate the unique world where air, water and soil intersect to form a unique space that we call the Riparian zone. Riparian zones are among the most important to the natural world, and well find outwhy.

Grade 3
Traditional Skills (Spring/Fall): Edible & Medicinal Plants
Identify, prepare and learn about the uses of some incredible plants found in our own backyard. People have survived in this area for thousands of years by eating plants found in the forest, meadows, and valley bottoms. Students will collect and prepare a number of plants and plant parts just as people have done throughout our history.

Traditional Skills (Winter): Explorer Survival

How did the areas first explorers survive the cold winters in the valley? Understand the challenges faced when spending many months in an unfamiliar and frozen landscape with hands-on projects. Students will build shelters, assist in making a fire, and learn about some traditional techniques for staying warm and preparing food. We strongly suggest tacking on a weenie & marshmallow roast for this program!

Grade 4
Food Chains: Lions and Lynx and Bears, Oh My!
Cougars, wolves, bears, bob cats, lynx, and more! Learn about (and practice!) the unique ways each of these predators locates, hunts, and eats their prey. Children will learn about food chains and the importance of predators though hands-on projects and games in the Family Nature & Discovery Park.

Living Underwater: Creatures of the Underwater World

Everyone loves a day of net dipping! Students will use actual field sampling techniques to find and examine organisms found in a wetland. Students will also learn about interesting adaptations for feeding, moving around, and avoiding being eaten. After we collect, identify and examine our specimens, students will draw and compare their favorite creatures and discuss their favourite adaptation. (Fall and spring only).

10

Grade 5
Canadas Natural Resources: The Importance of Fire
We are all familiar with Smokey the Bear telling us Only YOU can prevent forest fires! While fires can be damaging, to human communities, they are a natural process that is important for the ecological health of a forest. Learn about the history, importance, and consequences of fire suppression in the local area. Of course well have to finish this program around a campfire roasting marshmallows!

Environment Interconnectedness: Connecting With Nature

Every piece of the natural world is connected. However, humans often feel out of place or havent had a chance to connect on a deep level. Through a number of interactive and reflection exercises, students will learn to find their place within nature. We will also discuss ideas such as, What happens when humans damage a natural habitat? and How can we reduce our impact on our surroundings while continuing to enjoy natural spaces?

Grade 6
Intro to Using Microscopes and Other Tools in the Field and in the Lab
What do the passionate people of the science world use to make all of their exciting discoveries? Microscopes, macro-scopes, different types of nets and collecting tools. Students will be put to work in the field, learn how to use each tool, and make their own observations and conclusions. Students will also learn how to make an easy chart to display the number of each type of creature they found.

Recognizing the 5 Kingdoms in Nature: Field Work with ID Books and Cameras (or Drawing)
Just like Canadas first explorers, youll enter the natural world, identifying and capturing (with a camera or pencil) the different creatures we see. We will identify and record different organisms found within each of the 5 Kingdoms (the ones we can see that is), then make an artistic collage with the pictures we have collected. Students are required to bring their own camera from home or they may draw their findings.

Grade 7
Population and Distribution: Intro to Studying Insect Populations in the Field
If a child in your classroom has ever wondered what it would be like to be a real biologist, then they will be glad to have a first-hand experience! Well use actual insect collecting and measuring techniques, used by scientists in the real world. As a unit, we will use our findings to create a mini scientific study of the insects we find. Students will have a perfect introduction to life as a scientist. (Fall and Spring only).

Human History: Traditional Technology

Through traditional crafting and collection of various resources found within the local environment, people thrived in this valley for thousands of years. Discover some historic and innovative technology which allowed local people to survive, create items for trade and develop a sustainable culture. Live a day in history with traditional crafts, tool making, and gathering of resources.

11

Grade 8
Characteristics of Living Things: Be a Biologist for a Day
What does being a biologist mean exactly? Well it can mean a number of different things, but at the heart of biology, is the importance of understanding the characteristics of living things. We will live a day as a biologist, spend time in the field collecting our data and bring it into the lab to quantify. We will also combine our findings to create a miniature scientific study. This exercise provides a positive introduction to the importance of science, and can often motivate students to be more interested in science class.

Glaciers and Tectonics: The Artists of the Mountains

The Rocky Mountains are stunning! They are natural works of art that people travel from across the world to view and photograph. But have you ever wondered how exactly they came to form? Enjoy the thrilling tail of how the Rockies were built with hands-on experiments, team building exercises, and a walk to view some of the Valleys most impressive peaks.

Species Distribution: Geographical Barriers - Who made it to the mountains and how?
Close your eyes and picture a turtle packing his hiking bag, lacing up his shoes and beginning the long trek up and over the mountains after the massive shift in tectonic plates. How did the animals of the East Kootneys get here? Who arrived first? We will investigate which animals were able to migrate to the Rockies and reasons why other species were not.

Grade 9-12
We are happy to customize any of our programs to suit grades 9 to 12. With this age group, we strongly suggest that teachers extend your stay to an overnight or multi-day trip and combine with an adventure or team-building program. Students will then have the opportunity to grow as individuals and break barriers between each other while enduring new experiences and challenges as a team.

Bushcraft & Outdoor Skills

Bushcraft Reskilling
Reskilling is a movement that our team is very passionate about. Reskilling means learning skills that were once regularly practiced by our ancestors or even our grandparents or parents. Students of any age will learn how to make traditional tools and crafts while staying toasty warm next to a fire in the tipi or within our Bushcraft area. This exercise is very hands-on and is an excellent option to follow after a hike/snowshoe or combined with our Survival Skills Program.

Survival Skills
Survival skills were once well known to children across the world and we want to reskill them in this useful knowledge. Well take students through a real-life scenario of survival, where students will be required to make decisions to save themselves and the rest of the group. Students will learn about the 4 needs for survival, and how to attain each of these four needs without the use of modern tools and technology. Students will love traditional fire making, shelter building, and survival games! This program is tons of fun as a multi-day expedition. Where we learn how to make and use tools for hunting and gathering.

Cooking in the Outdoors Traditional Methods of

Cooking
There was a time when cooking a meal always meant cooking with fire. Lets go back to a time before electronic and gas devices existed and prepare a delicious meal using nothing but the heat of a fire. While we wont be hunting for our food, we will talk about the history of hunting and gathering in the local area. During this program, we will bake apples in a pit fire, experiment with other methods of traditional cooking and then roast traditional bannock and marshmallows. Students will feel an intimate connection with their food and the natural environment through this hands-on experience.

Low Ropes Course

Students learn how to work as a team to complete a low ropes course which offers different obstacles and interesting strategies. As part of our Guided Instruction philosophy, students will have full control on how to complete the course; adults must hold back providing any advice, instruction and direction. This, we believe, promotes children to think as individuals and experience the deepest form of success.

14

Geocaching
Geocaching is Canadas fastest growing outdoor sport. Its also a great way to get the younger, technology-attached generation into the outdoors. Geocaching is like a digital scavenger hunt, where you use a GPS to locate hidden treasures. We offer geocache challenges for every age group, which range from very easy to more difficult. You will be surprised at how fast kids pick it up! Each of our geocaches have exercises associated with them, which help children learn about the Columbia Valleys local ecology.

Bear Aware
When spending time in the Rockies, you should know a thing or two about bears. Our main goal with this program is to ease fears about bears as these furry animals are not the scary creatures that some childrens books and the media portray them to be. But, just like we wear a seat belt in the car, we should practice safety strategies when enjoying the great outdoors. Your instructor will take students on a short walk, explain interesting facts about bears and bear habitat, point out bear signs and will allow students to handle real fur, claws, and teeth of black and grizzly bears.

Animal Tracking
Learn ancient techniques in animal tracking. Students will learn how to recognize signs that would be missed by the untrained eye, how to tell different tracks apart, and other signs that animals leave behind (scat and markings). Who knows what well find as there are new animals travelling in this area every day! This program is particularly fun in winter as more tracks are visible in the snow.

Using a Field Guide in the Field

Field Guides help us identify and study the incredible plants and animals around us. Get to know the best field guides for this area and the ins-and-outs for using these tools of identification. Well take a walk around the property to a number of different habitats, using field guides for birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians, plants, and animal tracks.

Intro to Birding
Students have an opportunity to take part in a naturalists favourite sport; birding! Learn where to find certain bird species and key features used to identify who-is-who. We will also learn how to use a bird Field Guide and about the importance of volunteers in gathering information on bird populations.

Orienteering
Using a map is becoming a lost skill with todays technology, but you never know when you might have to use one. Students will learn simple orienteering skills while completing a team exercise to locate a treasure (and final team-building challenge) on resort property. This program is tons of fun and ideal for a group with lots of energy.

Accommodations:
Hotel Rooms
The resorts Juniper Lodge has been reserved for students only! Woohoo! This, of course, is our most luxurious accommodation option and provides a comfortable option for teachers that are too chicken to sleep in a tent (we understand). Children sleep 4-6 to a room and adults often get their very own room!

Tents
A great option for getting students out in the thick of the great outdoors. Our tents sleep 3-4 students and teachers can choose to have their own tent or share a double. When camping in tents, we take pride in maintaining a site that is not attractive to animals and comfortable for all participants.

Survival Shelters (Grades 11+)

The cream of the crop when it comes to camping! Children can build a single or double shelter to sleep in for the night. Well also bring tents along... just in case.

All participants of a half or full day program at The School of Nature will be required to bring their own food and snacks to satisfy their hunger needs throughout the day. Groups participating in a full day program may choose to bring their own lunch or we can provide a packed lunch or enjoy a traditional cookout (with a charge of $10.00 per child). Students brining their own lunch are asked to use reusable containers as it follows are goals of environmental stewardship.

Overnight Adventures
BC Rockies School of Nature will provide all meals on overnight trips. Preparing these meals will be tasked to the students. We are passionate about giving students responsibility while on trip, as it will prepare them for future trips, help them to work as a team, and will create a sense of pride in creating a yummy meal by themselves.

Our Vision for Food

We continue to grow and develop at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and have great visions for what the future will hold. One of our main focuses as Spring of 2013 approaches, is to dig, plant and play in our own vegetable garden and green house. We will use the resorts food scraps as compost for soil, build a green house that will stay heated year-round from the hot water of our hot springs, and supply the resort and School of Nature with fresh food daily. Fairmont Hot Springs Resort has already started growing their own perennial and annual flowers which they use across the grounds of the resort, in a movement to become a more sustainable organization. Were growing more green each year!

Special Dietary Requests and Allergies

We are happy to accommodate any/all dietary restrictions and/or allergies. Ensure that your special requests are filled out in your booking form and our chefs will develop a meal plan to suite your needs. While our resort facility is not peanut free, all food served to students at the School of Nature will be peanut free (however we cannot guarantee no contact with peanuts).

Meet and greet arriving groups, provide orientation to students and review the rules and safety precautions. Assist visiting teachers or groups in utilizing rented space or equipment. Instruct all program(s) in an organized and efficient manner, with a positive and encouraging attitude. Organize alternative program options in the case of special circumstances (weather, safety concerns, etc.). Check-in with supervisors regularly to provide opportunities for suggestions and other feedback. Always enforce and remind participants of safe behavior. Deal with any emergencies that may occur, and be proactive in foreseeing potential threats to the groups physical and mental well-being. Stay with the group on overnight, off-site trips. Provide emergency contact information and stay close in case of emergency when students are staying in hotel accommodations. Be enthusiastic, a positive role model, and have fun!

School Supervisor/Organizer
As an assistant to the instructor, you will monitor student behavior at all times and when asked by the instructor (or when the instructor is not present), assist in handling problematic behaviour. Ensure students have come to BCRSON with proper clothing, gear and food. Act in-charge of the group when asked by the instructor and during times when the instructor is not present. Advise your instructor on how and when all medications are to be dispensed. Conduct night supervision when on resort property, taking into consideration everyone in the near-by area.

Perform a final check on sleeping quarters to confirm that the group has left it clean and tidy. You are not responsible for cleaning up after the groups, the students are. Please find the people responsible and have them clean up after themselves as this is a valuable lesson. Have fun, be enthusiastic about all programming, get involved and encourage the group to do the same.
