Outdoor Education Leadership Program (OELP) Gr 7/8 Bamfield Fundraiser
Our class is fundraising for a field trip to the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre (BMSC) on the West Coast of British Columbia. This is a rare opportunity (only a few schools get to go every year), and we would be the first class from the Slocan Valley to have this chance!
A once in a lifetime experience like this does not come cheap! The trip is seven days total, including travel days. Cost for this trip is approximately $35,000 for the entire group, or $1500 per student.
We have applied for grants, and have many fundraising events happening such as:
- Dodgeball/Games night (Feb. 27 5 – 7pm)
- Purdy’s Easter Fundraiser, https://fundraising.purdys.com/campaign/000025877
- 50/50 raffle (cash prize up to $10,000!) Buy tickets from students, parents or at school.
- GoFund Me page (https://gofund.me/0ab66386f)
Please support our class by participating in our fundraising events. Thank you so much!
Sincerely, the OELP (Outdoor Education Leadership Program) at W.E. Graham.
