May 28-June 2 - Broughton Archipelago (#37-42)

I helped lead a group of SMUS grade 10 students for a week's experiential education  adventure in the Broughton Archipelago. I was leading with Beth Anne and Meredith and had a great group of six students along. While on the trip, we had great sightings of black bears (one mother with two cubs feeding on a carcass on the beach and another swimming across the bay at our Compton Island Camp), a humpback whale in Blackfish Sound, a nice visit to the Earth Embassy on Hanson Island, an outstanding morning of intertidal exploration and a visit to the abandoned village of Malalilicula. This trip was the only one I can remember with no rain!
