Eleven Grade 9 and 10 students earned serious trail cred on their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh trip to Cheakamus Lake. After hiking through old-growth forest, they set up camp by the chilly lake, braving cold nights, cooking together, and embracing backcountry life. From exploring trails to improving the campsite, students showed resilience, teamwork, and a great attitude. More than just checking a box, the trip pushed them beyond their comfort zones and strengthened their bond with nature and each other.
