The Bronte Creek Project introduces “Trailhead”, a new grade 10 program that focuses on adventure, exploring your community and developing leadership skills. Trailhead is a four-credit interdisciplinary course package with an overall theme to develop a relationship with your community and the natural world.
Our campus is located at Camp Sidrabene, a beautiful 55 acre natural setting with several buildings and unique classrooms. The program is based here and will include numerous opportunities to learn and explore the neighboring communities as well.
