Join an unforgettable journey from the mountains to
the ocean! Campers travel the length of the Fraser River through games and

The river is
always brimming with activity! Take a closer look at how people, plants, and
animals shape the river and its ecosystems. Through hands-on building challenges,
we’ll design the ideal river that balances both habitat and human needs!

Week
3: Survival on the Fraser – July 20-24 and August 17-21

·      
Put your survival
skills to the test in fun survival-themed challenges across different river
habitats. Campers explore how animals, plants, and people survive and thrive

throughout the year!

Week

·      
Calling all young
scientists and problem-solvers! Become river detectives as we investigate the
health of the Fraser River. Using real scientific tools and techniques, we’ll
test the water quality, identify aquatic creatures, and uncover what these
clues reveal about the river’s ecosystem!

FireWise Fraser

The FRDC is delighted to offer extra programming during long weekends with Summer
Discovery Days! There’s so much to see and discover on these long summer days,
and we hope you’ll join us!   

Wildfire has become an increasingly important issue across the Fraser Basin, affecting
communities, forests, wildlife, and water systems. While fire can contribute to
natural ecosystem processes, hotter and drier conditions are increasing the
frequency and intensity of wildfires. Join us to explore how fire changes
landscapes, impacts rivers and habitats, and the ways people work to reduce
risks and support ecosystem recovery.

WHAT:

·      Discover the mystery of hot roots and explore how plants and underground ecosystems respond to fire.

·      Learn how wildfire affect watersheds, erosion, and river systems using a stream table.

·      Learn how to rebuild a healthy forest and river ecosystem after wildfire.

·      Discover tools and practices used to manage wildfire risks.

July 25th–26th,
August 1st–3rd, 10:00am – 4:00pm
