School Groups
Enjoy a beautiful wilderness experience at our 41-acre camp facility set on the shores of Stave Lake in Mission, BC, conveniently located one hour east of Vancouver, BC. Come out to the Zajac Ranch and experience what so many other groups know - our facilities, activities, and service are top notch. The Zajac Ranch has the capability of hosting up to 120 people and we're more than willing to cater to any school group's rental requirements.
Outdoor and Environmental Education Programs
Our programs are curated to relate to your school's specific curriculum. If your goal is to encourage team building and leadership within students - we have activities for you! Or, if your goal is to teach students about topics pertaining to the environment - again, we have activities for you! Please remember, we can personally tailor any activity to your specific needs.
The Zajac Ranch's general objectives of our Outdoor and Environmental Education Programs are based upon a "Learn, Do, and Become" principle:
1. LEARN: Change attitudes, values, awareness, and skills via participation and leadership in programs.
2. DO: Behavioural change through teacher and educators' consistent reminders of experiences that occur at the Zajac Ranch.
3. BECOME: Permanent change in behaviour through repetition of applied attitudes, values, and awareness taught at the Zajac Ranch.
Our programs offer an experience that can directly complement classroom learning. We believe that learning by doing is one of the best ways to learn. Students learn by asking questions, looking, listening, experimenting, and connecting what they discover to what they already know.
Our programs revolve around these principles.
