Here’s a glimpse into the exciting activities awaiting your tween:
Wilderness Skills
We believe in encouraging a continued love of nature and the outdoors through the challenges of learning wilderness skills. These include fire building using different ignition sources, bushcraft, knots and shelter building.
Archery
Our archery program focuses on introducing participants of all ages to the sport. The focus is on the fundamental skills through team-building activities that promote increasing focus, goal setting and building confidence. The archery range is found tucked between the forest of our pine and spruce trees, giving it seclusion for practice. We carry 14 bows with arrows and multiple targets for participants to shoot for bulls eyes. Participants will learn the parts of the equipment, as well as taught the safety precautions and rules before they begin. Our more advanced shooters enjoy the challenge of hitting moving objects, while others test themselves by altering the distance of their targets.
Climbing
Our on-site outdoor climbing wall can accommodate climbers of all abilities and difficulty levels. Climbing is a unique activity that engages participants both physically and mentally developing skills like spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving and confidence. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the ropes or an experienced climber looking to improve your skills our certified team will meet your needs.
Lake Canoeing
Learn how to canoe through a combination of instruction and games. Experience the magic of canoeing Goldeye Lake as our Paddle Canada certified staff provide the support needed for building lifelong skills and abilities on open water.
Team & Leadership Building
The Goldeye Centre understands that games are not just for play, but are powerful tools for building foundational skills. Our program offers an innovative approach to learning and blending curriculum-based content into engaging games that inspire and ignite curiosity and learning.
Interpretive Hikes
Trail hikes tell a story – they are a guided experience that aims to deepen a participant’s understanding and appreciation of our natural environment. Our knowledgeable team creates an immersive experience that enhances the participants’ learning, combining comprehensive curriculum and hands-on engagement.
Orienteering
Orienteering is a thrilling outdoor adventure sport that combines navigation and endurance. Participants use a detailed map and compass to navigate through diverse terrain and locate checkpoints spread throughout the course. It’s not just about speed, but also strategy and decision-making as participants choose their own route to reach each checkpoint. Orienteering promotes teamwork, problem-solving, and a love for the outdoors, making it an exciting and educational activity for all ages.
Waterfront
Goldeye’s lake access and private dock allow a wide range of recreational, leisure, and social pursuits that take advantage of the natural beauty and amenities provided by a lake side setting. Swimming, sunbathing and relaxing, wildlife observation and boating are just a few of the enjoyable outdoor recreation activities available, each creating lasting memories.
