Program Details
Program length – Total content to be covered takes approximately 8 hours and is designed to be split over multiple sessions, anywhere from 8-12 depending on the length of time slots available. For example, in 2021 our partnership with the Whistler Secondary School EcoClub consisted of 10 x 30 minute sessions that ran every couple weeks during the students lunch hour.
Program schedule – We understand that keeping up with school curriculums can be challenging so when it comes to making a program schedule, we’re flexible and we will work with you to make a schedule that works for everyone. Typically the program length ranges from 3-5 months.
Program cost – Free (Dependent upon current grant funding available, please enquire to confirm).
Program eligibility – Grade 8-12 classes or school clubs.
