PEACE COUNTRY WILDERNESS PROGRAM PROGRAM SCHEDULE 2014 The Peace Country Wilderness Program has provided challenging therapeutic outdoor recreational activities for youths and adults since 2001. Our program has safely completed many epic routes and rivers in Western Canada. We’ve paddled the historic Churchill River, challenging Upper North Saskatchewan River, birds and badlands filled Red Deer River, the world renowned Bowron Lakes Route, and numerous NWT lakes/rivers. We’ve backpacked the high alpine Skyline Trail, Yoho Valley trails, various southern Willmore Wilderness trails/peaks/ridges, the arduous West Coast Trail, and the majestic Berg Lake Trail in Mt. Robson Provincial Park. Cycling (Kettle Valley Railway), fishing, skiing/snowboarding, and Aboriginal based activities are some of the other program choices we offer.
