Fieldschool’s Into the Wild Project
What are Fieldschool Projects?
Each day at Fieldschool, we focus on 1–2 project-based units called "Fieldschool Projects". Each semester we select 4–6 diverse Projects and rotate through them on a weekly basis, providing a consistent backdrop for endless variety and adventure.
Your learner can sign up for a drop-in pass and only attend on days that have their favourite Projects (for instance, joining each Tuesday for Parkour Academy). Or, they can jump in for 2–4 days per week and experience our full, diverse range of Projects. Click here to view 'em all!

Into the Wild Adventures: A Van with a Plan (Fridays)
Get ready to buckle up and embark on a journey of discovery! Into the Wild Adventures is Fieldschool’s exciting twist on a classic field trip—think of it as a “field trip within a field trip.” Every Friday, we’ll venture beyond our usual boundaries to explore unique and inspiring locations around BC. From the charming streets of Gibsons to the rugged beauty of Squamish, and even familiar favorites like Iona Beach and North Vancouver, each day is a self-contained adventure designed to spark curiosity, build connections, and create lasting memories.
What’s on the Into the Wild Agenda?
Each Friday promises a new destination, packed with hands-on activities and opportunities to immerse ourselves in BC’s stunning landscapes and rich history. Whether it’s exploring the natural wonders of Iona Beach or diving into the stories of Fort Langley, Into the Wild Adventures offers something for everyone. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:
- Gibsons: Hop aboard the ferry and explore this vibrant seaside town. From scenic waterfront trails to local markets, Gibsons is full of small-town charm and coastal beauty.
