Hello everybody!
We’re the Fox creek crew for 2025, and our summer has been nothing short of amazing. We've had the chance to dive deep into nature, picking up new skills and unforgettable experiences along the way. From hands-on forestry activities to quiet moments connecting with the land, it’s been a great mix of learning and adventure.
One of the biggest highlights so far has definitely been the canoe course. Spending two full days on what’s known as the cleanest lake in Alberta was truly special. Not only did we get to enjoy the water and scenery, but we also learned about the importance of leaving no trace and respecting the spaces we explore.
Another memorable experience was trail building. As tough as it was, seeing a trail come together from start to finish was incredibly rewarding. It gave us a real sense of accomplishment and teamwork.

Hi everyone! We’re the Lac La Biche crew for 2025, and we’ve already had an incredible start to the summer. Our crew has had some exciting new experiences and insightful learning opportunities, and we can’t wait to see what else is to come! One of our favourite highlights so far has been learning about forest management and sustainability. Getting to explore cut blocks and learn about the ways the logging industry operates has given us a deeper and more positive outlook around logging and the impacts that it has on the forest. Another unforgettable experience was getting to explore the Lac La Biche air tanker base and see all of the airplanes and helicopters used in forestry up close!
We look forward to all the adventures and memories ahead!
