By far the best memory as a child was attending outdoor school. I was taught how to use and follow a compass, follow a treasure hunt, make soap and candles from scratch, how to develop my own photos, how to milk a cow and care for farm animals. We were taught to row a Canoe, to walk a tight rope across a stream, to raise baby chicks from incubation. So many memories. We grew stronger as children and confident beyond measure. We played outside in the wood maze, and used the big tire swings. We were 1000 percent allowed to be curious children. In a world surrounded by screens, we need more than ever this Outdoor School

How amazing is it that we were able to visit the Outdoor School every single year while growing up? I have so many great memories and am thankful for the skills we developed (without even realizing it). I believe the decision was made in 1993 to close it. I would love to see it brought back to life!

This was such a magical place as a kid. So many incredible memories and experiences close to my heart were made there. To see such a wonderful opportunity be brought back to life for future children would be invaluable!

Such a shame that it is wasting away. Would love to see it up and running again. Teaching kids the outdoor skills we were taught as children.

I think this is a super important program to rehabilitate for our youth. With the amount of over stimulated children in the province it could be a great help for them to learn how to disconnect and learn to be grounded. I support this petition and idea 100%. The outdoor school gave me an outlet from a very adverse childhood, I would have never had the chance to see outside that box without the experience of the outdoor school and of coarse "delorise" the creator of the original program. Delorise inspired so many youth to be better humans. Please allow this to move forward for our future generations!!

I always wished my kids could have experienced the Outdoor School, some of my favorite childhood memories were spent there...with Delores & Ray & Pearl, the outdoor maze, all the animals, making candles and soap, sleeping in the residence and then the cabins, having my mom with me and taking the train up there.
It brings me no greater joy than to sign this petition, I sure hope they bring this back so that maybe even my grandchildren one day can experience the fun that was the Coast Mountain Outdoor School.
