Our Trips

Mini Kits

Simple Machines Mini Kit (K-12)

Looking for a hands-on way to teach your students about simple machines? Rent our Simple Machines Mini Kit, containing twelve interactive models of simple machines, and guide their exploration.

Fishing Tools & Knots Mini Kit (K-12)

There are so many different ways to catch fish! This kit is designed to show your students examples of some of the lures, ropes, knots, bells, and floats involved in net and line fishing.

Save the Salmon Kit

It is 1918, four years after the devastating rockslide at Hell’s Gate that blocked millions of Fraser River salmon from reaching their spawning grounds. Salmon stocks have plummeted, and the low stocks are threatening the future of the fishing industry. A commission of stakeholders has been called to determine how to help the species recover from this disaster.

Students will role play and work together to solve the problem. The 1914 Hell’s Gate rockslide and its consequences provide a historic example of the complexities of natural resource management that is still relevant today.

This program makes connections between all six Historical Thinking Principles; historical causes of today’s environmental concerns; and the shared history of BC, including topics of social justice, science, and Indigenous issues. The program takes a historical event and dramatizes it for relevant contemporary conversations that can be held in the classroom.

Cannery REcollections

Objects help us to tell the stories of people, places, and moments in time that make up how we understand our communities.

My Monster Cannery Kit

Using the Cannery’s children’s book, My Monster Cannery, as a jumping off point, this kit explores Social Studies, Music, Math, and English Language Arts curriculum.

Cannery Quest Jr. (Formerly Sea to Me)

In this engaging  hands-on program, discover the steps to canning salmon through story-time and puzzles. A scavenger hunt along the canning line helps students work cooperatively to follow the process of canned salmon from the ocean to their dinner plate.
