Day 1: Artifacts & their Stories History comes alive through a hands-on archaeological dig. Become a detective and unearth stories from the past. 
Day 2: Indigenous History & Culture Learn about the Coast Salish Peoples and their traditional ways of life through storytelling and beading. ​
Day 3: Coastal Forests & Climate Change Explore coastal forests and their natural resources. Learn to make paper and study tree rings to understand how trees and climate change are interconnected.
