Come on a journey through time, and learn about the martial history of knights and duellists!

Far from armoured brutes wildly hacking and smashing their enemies, the knights and
duellists of the middle ages and renaissance were highly trained martial artists. Skilled not
only with swords, but also with daggers and spears, in and out of armour, on foot and on
horseback.

Presenters from Academie Duello will host your students, or travel to your school. Over the
course of an hour they will describe the martial arts of medieval and renaissance Italy, along
with live demonstrations, show and tell of medieval weapons and armour, and a Q&A period
at the end of the presentation.

Get a hands-on tour of our medieval and renaissance museum of arms and armour, original
renaissance books, and heraldry!

Your students will get excited about the middle ages and renaissance in a new way by
handling reproduction and historical swords, trying on real steel and leather armour, leafing
through parchment and linen books, and learning all about the surrounding history from our
expert instructors.

We combine engaging lectures and demonstrations with opportunities for students to hold
and experience artifacts while learning their stories and real world use.

Camp Jubilee is a boat access only camp, located on 128 acres of Indian Arm oceanfront. We are a 45 minute boat ride from Cates Park, North Vancouver.

Special diets can be accomodated.

For 2021 we are working on a number of options to offer our Outdoor School programs, including Day Trips, or even bringing Camp Jubilee to you!

Programs for this age group are 1.5 hours long and include a short orientation session in our Lecture Hall with its museum collections, followed by a 1 hr biologist-led walk, during which students will learn the basics of bird identification and the importance of the Sanctuary's biodiversity to migratory birds and other wildlife. The Sanctuary is located in the Fraser River estuary, and trails meader between large treed areas, open ponds and natural tidal mudflats and wetlands. Seasonal highlights in the fall include the arrival of the Lesser Snow Geese from Russia. Winter highlights often include owls and the very friendly Black-capped Chickadees. In spring, the emphasis is on spring migrants and nesting behavior.

This program is designed for the young visitors (pre-school and kindergarten up to Grade 2). Children will be provided with a one-hour group tour of the Sanctuary wetlands, exploring nature under the guidance of our biologist. At the discretion of the leader and teacher, this may be extended to 1.5 hours.The Sanctuary is a noisy place in the spring, with birds getting ready for migration, nesting or in the process of building nests. Children will learn about bird behavior, the process of building nests and how we need to be careful not to disturb the birds during this important process.
