I got very few surveys back so it is going to be difficult to pick a weekend when the majority of students can attend. One date that has been suggested is the weekend of April 26.

We'd drive down to Langley on Friday night and stay in a hotel.
Saturday at 10am we'd go for a canoe excursion on the Frasier river and then take part in the educational programme in the Fort. This is a 4 hour activity ending at 2pm.

At 3pm we'd go to the campsite and meet the Teepee guy. Here we have the choice of helping put up the teepee's. Our guide also offers botanical walks through the forest, canoe trips, and the kids will play traditional bone games and lacrosse (of the original native variety--apparently very different). We will then be treated to a evening feast of native fare around the campfire, consisting of roast buffalo (of course!!), squash, corn, etc and also a native breakfast in the morning.

Then we'd drive home.

Programme at the fort is $40 per person
Teepee cost is 125 per child, 135 per adult
plus the motel costs

Could be looking at $200 per person. I believe the school may be able to cover up to 50% of the grade five child's fees, but other children and parents would be separate.

Is it something we should still pursue?
