ECOC - Ontario Curriculum Strands

Learning doesn't have to happen in a classroom. Opt outside for a unique and rewarding teaching environment.

Designed for Schools

Not only are our program activities designed to be fun, but they are also meant to build upon students' discovery & growth. Each of our activities has a set lesson plan that our Instructors follow in order to provide a valuable learning experience.

Our activities all follow a similar layout including safety briefings, learning objectives/skills demonstration, and hands-on practice time. In addition to learning hard skills, our camp environment also provides rich opportunities for the development of softer skills such as self-confidence and resiliency.

No matter what program you choose, your students are bound to learn something new.
