The communities that make up the Fraser-
Cascade School District are geographically blessed; they
are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of hectares of
natural classroom. Fraser Cascade Mountain School and
its students take full advantage of that blessing.
The majestic Coast Mountains run down the western edge
of the incredible and historic Fraser Canyon; the
Cascade Mountain chain rises to the sky on the eastern
side of the river. The Coquihalla valley contains some
of the finest climbing peaks in B.C. and world class
winter backcountry opportunities.
Harrison Lake offers over 60 kilometers of unsurpassed
canoeing and kayaking experiences. Manning Provincial
Park encompasses 70 000 hectares of rugged forest-clad
mountains, deep valleys, alpine meadows, lakes and
rivers; an environment ideal for four season back
country and wilderness recreation.
The Skagit Valley stretches from Silver Creek south into
Washington State. It is part of a larger protected area complex that
includes the U.S. North Cascades National Park and the
Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas.
This valley was carved by retreating glaciers and is
characterized by excellent outdoor recreation
opportunities in a natural, wilderness-like setting.
This is OUR backyard!
Fraser-Cascade Mountain School takes advantage of this
cornucopia of natural and neighborhood possibilities to
offer our students a variety of unforgettable outdoor courses and
experiences - hiking, climbing, summer and winter
camping, snowshoeing and skiing, trail etiquette, wilderness safety and survival.
