Past experiences
In September 2023, students experienced the tranquil and secluded CMC Valley, located just north of Mount Yamnuska. This valley exudes a unique charm due to its remote location and restricted access from the east.
In June 2024, students embarked on an unforgettable journey down the picturesque Red Deer River, meandering from Tolman Bridge to Newcastle Park in Drumheller, covering a distance of 53 km.
