Snowshoe Excursion : In the Footsteps of Snowshoers Past
How does the forest adapt to the changing seasons? Imagining themselves as photographers and equipped with cardboard cameras, students explore Mount Royal and "take pictures" of what they find interesting.
Students will get an immersive view of Montreal life in the 19th century: the city in winter, its economic and social development, and the role Mount Royal and its location played at the time. Throughout the excursion, students will meet various challenges and learn about the history and evolution of snowshoeing and other winter traditions on the mountain.
Starting point: Beaver Lake Pavilion, 2000 Remembrance Road, Montreal, QC H3H 1X2
Level: Secondary (ages 12 to 17)
Duration: Half day (2 h)
Rates: Half day: $14.50 per child (minimum $261) (rate includes snowshoe rental)
Pedagogical skills: This historical trek will enable students to exercise critical judgment, reflect on the past and share their opinions on important elements of Mount Royal over the years, while practising a historically significant winter sport for Quebec: snowshoeing.
