Planning your next class field trip? Set sail for discovery at the Maritime Heritage Centre in Campbell River—where history comes to life, and learning feels like an adventure.
Our school programs are designed to spark curiosity and build connection to our coastal heritage, all while keeping things budget-friendly. For just $60 per class, your students will experience an engaging, hands-on visit full of maritime magic.
What’s Included:
🛥️ Tour of the BCP 45 – Climb aboard the iconic fishing vessel featured on the Canadian $5 bill. Students will learn about life at sea, the fishing industry, and what makes this boat a piece of living history.
🔍 Scavenger Hunt Through the Museum – Explore the exhibits in small groups with a fun and interactive scavenger hunt that encourages observation, teamwork, and critical thinking.
⚓ Maritime-Themed Activity – Round out the day with a hands-on activity linked to BC’s coastal culture. Options may include knot tying, flag making, signal codes, or buoyancy activities—tailored to age and curriculum.
