Embrace the weather & live for Poutine!

26 April 2023

Ah, the joys of attending a Canadian boarding school as an international student. It’s a unique experience that can provide you with a world-class education, cultural immersion, and will be a lot of fun along the way, eh!? (ps. living in Canada means that instead of verbs and nouns, you just add “eh” to the end of every sentence, eh? (Only joking)) Anyway, let’s dive into the benefits of attending a Canadian boarding school…

1. You’ll learn to love the cold (or the rain!)

Let’s be real, most of Canada is known for its chilly weather. But attending a boarding school in Canada will make you embrace the cold like a true Canadian. You’ll learn to love the cozy feeling of a warm jacket, gloves, and a hat as you walk to class. Plus, all that snow and ice will give you the perfect opportunity to perfect your ice skating skills. Who knows, maybe you’ll even be the next Olympic figure skater?

That said, if you’re in British Columbia the weather isn’t as cold…it’s much more like Northern Europe but it does rain a lot in the winter…ever heard of RAINcouver!? So don’t forget to pack your wet weather gear! Like my Dad always said…”there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing”!

2. You’ll get used to eating poutine

Poutine, the beloved Canadian dish of fries, gravy, and cheese curds, might seem a bit strange at first. But trust us, after a few months at a Canadian boarding school, you’ll be eating it like a local. And hey, maybe you’ll even learn how to make it yourself and impress your friends back home.

3. You’ll make lifelong friends from around the world

Attending a Canadian boarding school means you’ll be living and learning with students from all over the world. You’ll have the opportunity to make friends from different cultures, backgrounds, and languages. These friendships can last a lifetime and give you a global perspective that you can’t get anywhere else.

4. You’ll have access to top-notch education

Canadian boarding schools are known for their rigorous academic programs, talented teachers, and state-of-the-art facilities. You’ll be challenged academically and have access to opportunities that can help you succeed in university and beyond. Plus, the small class sizes mean you’ll get personalised attention from your teachers and be able to ask questions without feeling like you’re interrupting the entire class.

5. You’ll be able to explore your adventurous side

Canada is a playground for adventure enthusiasts, offering a plethora of thrilling activities to keep students on their toes. For starters, there’s skiing and snowboarding in the winter months, with the country boasting some of the best ski resorts in the world. In the summer, students can take on the rapids by going white-water rafting, or explore the country’s scenic hiking trails. Whatever your adventure style, Canada has something to offer for every student looking for an unforgettable experience.

6. You’ll become a master of multitasking

Living in a boarding school means you’ll have to juggle academics, extracurricular activities, and social life. But don’t worry, you’ll become a pro at multitasking. You’ll learn how to manage your time effectively, prioritise your responsibilities, and still have time for fun. And hey, if you can handle living in a boarding school, you can handle anything life throws your way.

So, there you have it, the benefits of attending a Canadian boarding school for international students. From embracing the weather to mastering multitasking, attending a Canadian boarding school can provide you with a unique and unforgettable experience. Who knows, maybe you’ll even end up staying in Canada after graduation – we hear the healthcare is pretty good.

30 Day Challenge Blog

30 November 2020

What is the 30 Day Challenge for ALL?

Sam Ridgway, the founder of L&E, was challenged to 10 Adventures, 10 Life Skills and 10 Languages in 30 Days…Simple!

There were 2 main aims of the challenge:

  1. Raise vital funds and awareness for Save the Children who exist to help every child to reach their full potential. 

2. To inspire young people from all backgrounds and cultures to broaden their horizons, step out of their comfort zone and try something new.

30 Day Schedule

Day 1: Yoga

Completed my first life-skill challenge today! YOGA!! The lovely Harriet was my expert instructor and put me through my paces. Made me realise how un-flexible I am! A little stiff now but actually may try to keep it going as I’m not getting any younger!! 😜

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 2: Wild Swimming

This wasn’t planned at all! Having a lovely dog walk with Rosie on the beach getting myself prepared for my language lesson later in the afternoon when an idea struck me! WILD SWIM! Only problem was…I didn’t have any trunks or a towel!. Oh well…I managed to protect my modesty and went for it! Very invigorating but very, very, very cold!! Literally took my breath away! First adventure completed! Language lesson delayed till another day!

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 3: Spanish

Today was an incredibly wet & rainy day so the perfect day for an indoor activity. My lovely 82 year old Father used to be a French and Spanish teacher but for some reason I have never learnt any Spanish my whole life. He agreed to give me a Spanish lesson and it was amazing. I am so lucky to have such a great Dad who embraces all challenges including modern technology!! Only a few glitches…😂

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 4: Ukulele

Enjoyed today’s session. It was very frustrating and I will certainly blame the quality of my my instrument but all in all I definitely learnt some chords and will be able to bring out the ukulele at campfires etc. (if only to pass it very quickly to someone who can actually play!!) Thank you Andy for the tutorial! 👍 (ps. remember to tune your ukulele and to know whether you’re doing it for left handed or right handed! 🤦‍♂️)

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 5: GPS Art Run

An interesting challenge today. A friend mentioned the idea of GPS Art and how you can draw shapes with the route you run with your running app. It was fun planning the shape and putting it into action. It was an early start but worth it in the end. Pacific Spirit Park is an incredible temperate Rainforest near where we will live and was the perfect setting!! 🏃🌲 Day 5 done…what’s in store tomorrow!!? 🤔 Ps. I have some quite exciting challenges planned in the coming days/weeks but still need some more ideas to fill my schedule!?🤔

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 6: Arabic

Today I had the privilege of learning Arabic from my wife, Randa’s mum. She was very patient and very kind. There’s some very difficult pronunciations and I apologise for some of the inaccuracies!😂 Enjoy! PS. Keep the ideas coming…really enjoyed some of the ideas so far! 👍

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 7: Singing

What an amazing opportunity to have a singing lesson with an amazing professional like Kathy! (However I think I may have blown it!!😂) Thank you so much to Kathy for giving your time to teach me. I will have definitely been one of the harder students to get a note out of but, nonetheless I really enjoyed it and feel that now I have a technique I have no excuse for the sounds coming out of my mouth! 🤦‍♂️😂 

I really recommend everyone to get a voice/singing teacher. It really makes you concentrate on certain things that will help throughout your life.

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 8: Boating

I had a lot of fun today. My friend Mark treated me to a ride in his boat and even luckier I got to drive it! It’s a very different feeling to driving a car and the waves were certainly causing a few bumps! So much fun!

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 9: Roller Blading

Oh my Gosh! I am NOT a natural skater/blader! Coupled with my tallness and fear of falling there is an incredible awkwardness when I have wheels or blades on my feet! However, I didn’t do as badly as I thought and really enjoyed the sunshine along the famous Vancouver Sea Wall!

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 10: Sign Language

Sign Language has been on the list of things to learn for a long time. I was very lucky for Katie to agree to teach my some BSL (British Sign Language). The expressive(ness) of the language is so fantastic. I loved Katie’s passion for it and I have promised myself that I must carry on learning and if nothing else try to remember the alphabet by heart.

Katie mentions the Alphabet cards you can download from the National Children’s Deaf Society website

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 11: Tree Climbing

Find a tree, climb a tree, have a coffee up a tree – simple huh!?

Who’d have thought it would be so hard to find a tree to climb IN A FOREST!!?? Well it was! Try as I might I could find an appropriate tree to climb for a long time but eventually found one on my next outing with outstanding view. All in all it was a successful challenge but just reminded me that even the best laid plans can come unstuck sometimes! 😂

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 12: Japanese

Thank you so much to Mitsue for giving me her time to teach me some Japanese. It’s such a beautiful and polite language. I know I didn’t do it quite the justice it deserved but nonetheless I enjoyed learning and certainly will try to remember the basics!

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 13: Cooking

Very fortunate to have Dan from Nourish Cookery School give me a lesson on how to make Japanese dumplings, gyoza! They were very yummy! 😋🥟

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 14: Snow Day

Yesterday I heard the exciting news that our local mountain (Cypress) was due open early for the ski season. Every year I get incredibly excited by this news and this year (with everything that has gone on) I was even more excited than normal! Just being in the mountains with snow and trees around me is my special place! I decided not to go up the lifts as it was pretty busy and the season is long but I had a lovely hike and ski down and even made myself a coffee with my little stove! Fantastic day!

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 15: Malay

Can’t quite believe I’m halfway through! 5 adventures, 5 life skills and 5 languages completed!

Loved learning Malay with Heng. He had gone to some effort to prepare and make it as easy as possible for me to learn and so I’m ever so grateful. Terima kasih, Heng!

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 16: Turkish

Thank you so much to Eylem for teaching me some Turkish. I visited Istanbul a few years ago and had the most wonderful time. I would even go as far as to say it’s one of my most favourite cities. Where East meets West! So, I’m excited to go back and be able to use my new found skills. It’s a very interesting language and quite phonetic which makes it easier than other languages. I also loved the body language that is unique to Turkey.

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 17: Card Skills

Who could imagine shuffling cards could be so difficult!? I’ve always loved magic tricks and playing card games but been slightly embarrassed by the fact I can’t even do a basic shuffle never mind anything fancy!

I decided to something about it! 🤦‍♂️

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 18: Den Building

🌲🏕🌲A great life-skill preparing for my adventure in a couple of days when I get to sleep out in my construction! 

⚠️Beware of the coyotes!!🐕😱😜

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 19: Norwegian

 This was quite a special language lesson. 

Randa and I met a lovely couple (Hans, from Norway and Zoe from Canada) 15 years ago in South Africa on a wine tasting tour. We hit it off straight away and had a really fun day together but haven’t seen them since. 

Through the power of social media we’ve stayed in touch and amazingly Hans got in touch to offer to give me a Norwegian lesson. They now actually live in Canada as well so we will definitely see more of them sooner or later. Thank you again to Hans! 🙏

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 20: Sleep Out

This was a tough one for lots of reasons. As well as to Save the Children please consider donating to Covenant House Vancouver who help young people who experience homelessness. https://www.covenanthousebc.org/ways-to-give/

Day 21: Pig Latin (Kids Secret Language)

Back to 30 Day Schedule

I was incredibly fortunate today. Chef Robin Kort from Swallow Tail Culinary Adventures gave me a personal guide to foraging mushrooms. Her knowledge and passion is so infectious and I learnt so much! 🌲🍄

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 23: Kayaking

I took a trip down False Creek, Vancouver. 🛶

Loved seeing things that I hadn’t noticed before. I think waterways are such a great way to travel and see things from a different perspective. Also, it’s so quiet in a kayak so you have a great chance to see cool wildlife…I got lucky with a little friend!🦭

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 24: Art Class

Thank you to my very good friend, Aled for teaching me some Welsh.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I even got to hear the proper pronunciation of the longest place name in Europe – Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch!!😅

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 27: Ice Hockey

Thank you so much to Coach Emily and Norbert for taking me to try out ice hockey for the first time. 🏒 It’s the national sport and obsession of Canada so it’s an essential life skill to have and I can tell you I was a little nervous! 😅

Back to 30 Day Schedule

Day 28: Mountain Biking

It ‘s been a busy couple of months with the L&E Office a hive of activity.  Here are a few of the highlights…

Visit to Amsterdam

In April we were invited by a lovely parent to give a presentation at her children’s school De School van HIP in Laren near Amsterdam.  We had an absolute ball and also took the opportunity to make some plans for our Teen Travel Euro Tour in the summer which will be stopping off in Amsterdam.  Thank you, Yvonne for hosting us and to all those who took the time to hear us speak.

We’ve had a lot of fun over the past few months interviewing campers, teen travellers, parents and staff to help others understand what L&E World Camps & Teen Travel are all about.  They are the best part of 10 minutes long so get a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits and enjoy…

L&E World Camps – what children, parents and staff say!
