About this service
The Columbia River Field School is an immersive learning experience for students ages 15-18. Over 15 days, students travel the Columbia River by canoe while exploring important aspects of the rivers story through lessons in geography, ecology, hydrology, technology, economics, politics, history and culture. On top of this, the Field School is an opportunity for participants to meet other young people from all over the Basin, have fun together outdoors, learn to canoe, and practice leadership skills.
On our journey we will paddle key sections of the river and visit important places, including the headwaters, the Columbia Wetlands, historic First Nations sites, dams and reservoirs, and more. Along the way, students will meet with a diverse selection of highly qualified guest experts including Indigenous leaders and knowledge keepers, local and provincial government officials, scientists, conservationists, writers, artists, adventurers, and other lifelong Basin residents.
