• CULTURAL AND SUSTAINABILITY EXPERIENCE

  March 7-20, 2024 - Colombia
  
  Colombia is incredibly diverse in its landscapes and culturally rich in heritage. On this trip, students will have the opportunity to explore Colombia’s turbulent history while engaging in current practices of global innovation and sustainability. The itinerary includes activities and project visits that focus on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Students will also have a unique opportunity to engage in a SDG Action Challenge that will connect them to the SDGs and give them tangible skills to combat issues in their own communities. Some highlights of this trip include rafting down a beautiful 8-km stretch of crystal-clear river in Rio Claro following a zip-line experience through the trees, making coffee from scratch, riding up the Medellin cable car, participating in a sustainable cooking challenge with fresh crops you harvest that day, learning a traditional dance technique called champeta, engage in a drumming workshop, and much more!

• Irving Expedition

  Summer 2024 - Keele River, Northwest Territories
  

  
  Paddling the Keele River is a world-class adventure. Its turquoise waters wind their way 310 km through the towering Mackenzie Mountains and some of the most remote and pristine wilderness left on the planet. The river is fast but fun and friendly, with exciting but manageable whitewater and no portages. Jaw-dropping spectacular scenery, superb fishing, hiking opportunities and excellent wildlife viewing make this trip one of LCS’ favorite mountain rivers. The Keele River is suitable for novice to intermediate paddlers, but more skilled paddlers will still havelots to enjoy!
  
  Projected Cost: $5900

• GEO Expedition

  Summer 2024 - Georgian Bay, Ontario
  
  The 30,000 Islands make northeast Georgian Bay a kayaker’s paradise. From a few square meters to several square kilometers, these granite islands form a protective maze for the paddler to explore. Away from the sheltered channels, there are also open bays and crossings to distant islands for the experienced paddler. There is very little soil in this area, and most of the vegetation on the coastline consists of wind-twisted and gnarled trees that are far older than they look. It’s a harsh and fragile environment – the least-settled wilderness on the great bay. This 8-day trip begins in Killarney Provincial Park with a short skills clinic and a short paddle down a sheltered river to the wilderness of the bay.
  
  Students will camp on deserted islands and enjoy great food, and spectacular sunsets. There will be lazy days, and as our confidence grows, the challenge of open-water crossings and big waves. Finally, students will reach the journey’s end at the remote outpost at Hartley Bay on the beautiful French River.
  
  Projected Cost: $1500

• Fee Cancellation Policy

  Note: *Prices are approximated and may be subject to change.
  
  

  Once the offer of a position on a project team is made, accepted, and approved by at least one of the student’s parents or legal guardian, the trip fee will be billed to his/her LCS account. This will enable the school to recover deposits paid in advance to the tour company, airline, etc.  After that, should a student wish to withdraw from the trip for any reason, we will try to fill his/her spot with someone from the reserve list, if there is one. However, the later a cancellation is made, the less likely it is a replacement will be able to be found. In such cases, please be advised the entire trip fee may be non-refundable.
