Paddle and learn this summer with<br />
Wildsight’s youth field school<br />
Youth from across the Columbia Basin have a unique opportunity<br />
this summer to be immersed in the mighty Columbia<br />
River.<br />
Wildsight’s Columbia River Field School (CRFS) is a canoe<br />
trip and learning adventure for students aged 15-18. Students<br />
paddle key sections of the Canadian side of the Columbia<br />
River and camp along its riverbanks in a learning environment<br />
unlike any other.<br />
“The field school provides an opportunity for learning that<br />
is real, lived and felt,” says Monica Nissen, Wildight’s Education<br />
Manager. “Students come away with an understanding<br />
of the complexity of the many issues — ecological, social<br />
and economic —<br />

that are inextricably<br />
linked to the<br />
Columbia River and<br />
this watershed.”<br />
Spanning 15 days,<br />
field school participants<br />
meet with<br />
a diverse group<br />
of guest speakers<br />
including government<br />
officials,<br />
Indigenous knowledge<br />
holders, scientists,<br />
artists, and<br />
adventurers. They<br />
earn Lakewater<br />
Level 1 and Canoe<br />
Tripping Paddler<br />
certifications, and<br />
gain important outdoor<br />
skills like reading<br />
maps, packing,<br />
cooking, setting up<br />
camp and leave no trace practices. But most importantly, students<br />
gain an appreciation for this watershed and the intricate<br />
role we all play in its protection.<br />
“Throughout the trip, I built a strong connection to the<br />
Columbia River. Paddling several different sections (free flowing<br />
and dammed) really helped me to form a well-rounded<br />
understanding of why the Columbia is such an important<br />
river,” says past participant Ali Giesbrecht. “I had the privilege<br />
to witness its beauty in many forms, such as the wildlife<br />
and aquatic life, its geography, human connections with the<br />
watershed, and special locations like the headwaters and its<br />
confluence with the Kootenay River.”<br />
Raising a generation of leaders who understand and appreciate<br />
the Columbia River, including the Columbia River Treaty<br />
and the effect this river has on communities across the watershed<br />
are exactly what program leaders seek to achieve<br />
“Lasting improvement to our relationship with the environment<br />
requires more than a surface-level appreciation. For<br />
long-term change, we need to cultivate champions who have<br />
a deep knowledge and passion, and can use it to inspire wider<br />
interest in issues that affect our communities,” says Graeme<br />
Lee Rowlands, program coordinator. “The CRFS makes these<br />
topics come alive in the landscape of the basin and in the lives<br />
of participants in a way that no other program does.”<br />
Past participants, hailing from 16 communities across the<br />
basin, have gone on to speak at conferences, publish original<br />
writing, participate in youth summits, and become local leaders<br />
in their own communities. Many alumni are now pursuing<br />
careers in environmental science/studies, outdoor education<br />
and other conservation-related fields.<br />
This year’s CRFS runs June 30-July 14. Applications are due<br />
by <strong>May</strong> 15th, but will be reviewed on a rolling basis so apply<br />
soon! For more information and to apply, visit wildsight.ca/<br />
