Outdoor experiential learning is one of the defining characteristics of Westgate’s approach to holistic education. We want to foster an appreciation for creation and nature in students, while equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to successfully and safely navigate age appropriate activities. During Alternative Education Week, grade 8 students go to West Hawk Lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park. This is a time for students to hone working as a group to come up with a meal plan, a time for students to develop leadership, and a time to have fun with friends.
