Spelunking and underground adventures

Wilderness School explores Horne Lake Caves and gives back

The Year 2 Wilderness School cohort set out to explore the depths of Vancouver Island on Feb. 21-22. At only 500-kilometres long, Vancouver Island is home to more caves than all other Canadian provinces combined, making it the region with the highest cave concentration in North America.

With the help of the experienced cave guides at Horne Lake Caves & Outdoor Centre, the group learned about the karst landscapes and environmental factors that shape these caves.
