Students and teachers alike can experience Barkerville's history through the Barkerville School Program. School groups can visit Barkerville for the day, or stay overnight in the area and experience several enriched days of interactive B.C. history.
Barkerville provides an interesting, hands-on approach to British Columbia's gold rush history. Our educational programs, daily activities, and historic displays provide a tangible link to life as it was lived when Billy Barker's mine was in full swing. It is an experience that young people won't soon forget.
The school program season starts mid May and goes until the third week of June, running Monday to Friday (except holidays).
Booking starts in October, so call early!
