Students are expected to provide they own personal items such as water bottles, clothing, eating utensils, compasses etc. and are encouraged to purchase their own tents, packs, sleeping bags, etc. The School, however, can provide almost everything that the fledgling recreation professional may require. The School is located, literally, within minutes of world class camping, canoeing, climbing, hiking, fishing, skiing, and many other recreational resources. This close proximity offers ideal teaching facilities for many of the lab components of our courses. Applications such as, word-processing, desktop publishing, statistical analysis, GIS applications and graphics presentation tools are all available and used in various courses.
Students also make use of multimedia and video equipment.
An Interpretation lab offers students an opportunity to study the natural environment in a classroom type setting. This lab serves as a model Outdoor Centre allowing students an opportunity to implement a number of their assignments. Students are encouraged to make use of the Equipment Lab. This facility allows students to repair, design and manufacture their own outdoor equipment. Past projects include tents, packs, clothing and small personal items.
