Cheakamus Parent/Child Site Visits
January 24, 2024.
Hello parent and guardians,
We are reaching out to let you know about an upcoming ‘Parent/Student Site Visit’ to Cheakamus Centre scheduled on the morning of Saturday, February 3 & Sunday, February 4.
What is it?
An opportunity to visit the Cheakamus Centre site prior to your child’s overnight program and to address any anxieties or concerns they may have. Site tours will be led by a member of the Cheakamus Centre Program Team.
Where is it?
Cheakamus Centre, Squamish. Please note, winter rated tires are required for travel on the Sea to Sky Highway.
When is it?
- Session 1 – Saturday, February 3 – 10:00am-11:30am
- Session 2 – Sunday, February 4 – 10:00am-11:30am
Who is it for?
Families of students attending overnight for either the Grade 4 Outdoor School program or the Grade 3 Skw’une-was Longhouse program who would benefit from seeing the site and asking questions ahead of their program, to ease anxiety or address concerns. We respectfully request that at the most, the attending student and one parent attend, to ensure there is enough space for everyone. Unfortunately pets are not permitted on the Cheakamus Centre grounds.
How do I sign up?
You can RSVP to the Cheakamus Admin Coordinator – Chelsea at office@cheakamuscentre.ca – please RSVP no later than Wednesday, January 31st.
Please include the following in your RSVP:

NOTE: If your program is in May or June, there will be another opportunity to see Cheakamus Centre and do a Site Tour with a Program team member at our Open House on Sunday, May 5, from 10-11:30am. Please consider attending this date instead - this walk is first-come-first-served, so there is no sign-up required.
