OUR TEAM

THE TEAM
aka: “Islanders”

Sea to Sky Outdoor School has developed a reputation within the province and increasingly across the country for providing amazing learning experiences for youth. These programs that touch students in powerful ways are a product of the people who deliver them. What follows are brief 'bios' of the full-time seasonal staff that make this possible.

Emily Mikola - aka Eagle

Emily Mikkola (or Eagle) found Sea to Sky Outdoor School through Camp Fircom, where she has worked for almost a decade as a Camp Counsellor, Dishwasher, Guest Experience Host, Program Coordinator, and finally Program Director.

After completing her teaching degree on the lands of the Snuneymuxw people on Vancouver Island, she returned to camp excited to explore our interconnection with the natural world alongside students and teachers that come to Chá7elkwnech. Eagle's passion for education and our planet Earth comes from years of playing, learning, teaching, and loving the outside world around her.

Testimonials

"Dear Islanders, Thank you so much for teaching me about the importance of Nature. I learned a lot! You taught me that kids can make a difference too. Also thanks for teaching me all the songs. They taught me good lessons."

- Grade 5 Student
"Thank you Islanders for a cool, fun packed week. I had fun and learned a lot about nature, sustainability, ethics and how I can be a difference. I learned a lot and best of all as I learned, I had fun."

- Grade 7 Student
"This trip was meant for educational purposes, but I found it more of a fun camp instead of a school camp. When we played learning games you tricked our minds into thinking it was a fun game instead of a learning experience. I learned a lot from this trip. I hope someday I will become an Islander."
