Knox Mountain Hike and Hardcore Archery

Sightseeing & Leisure Activities!

A large part of your experience will be after school hours when you will meet new friends and enjoy all that Kelowna has to offer. This September at VanWest College Kelowna campus, we went for Knox Mountain hiking and Hardcore Archery!

 

Knox Mountain Hike

One of the best parts about living in Kelowna is how nature and city life co-exist. Knox Mountain, just a ten-minute walk from VanWest’s Kelowna campus, has hiking trails of varying difficulties for students of all ages to enjoy. Last Friday we made the trek out to the mountain to work up a sweat while escaping the noise of the city. Along the way, we learned about the geography and history of Kelowna, appreciated the incredible views of the Okanagan Lake, and made new friends. We ended the day with everyone’s favourite treat – ice cream!

 

 

Hardcore Archery

Coming to a new country is a great time to try something new. At VanWest Kelowna, we presented our students with a new challenge: archery! Although most of our students had not learned this sport before, the instructors at Hardcore Archery were very helpful and patient, giving one-on-one lessons to each student. After a training session, we had a great time shooting balloons and competing for the best scores. It was an unforgettable experience, and we will absolutely be back soon!
