My main passion is to learn, and help others to learn, about the discovery of the "Self."
“Who am I?”
“What am I?”
“What am I capable of?”
“What do I want and who do I want to be?”
The exploration and mastery of these four key life skills is the main activity and objective of the Vancouver Outdoor Society outdoor education programs.
