Even the quiet and shy students feel relaxed enough to speak and participate in the language lessons. A teacher is more than a teacher at Wynchemna.  The teachers are there for the youths 24 hours a day! 

An excursion to Southern Alberta follows the language lessons.

We begin with a visit "Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump" one of the oldest, largest and best-preserved buffalo jump sites in North America. In 1981, the members of the UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Service and Cultural Organization) recognized the outstanding intrinsic value of the site and designated it a World Heritage Site to protect and preserve its historic value for the future. 

Afterwards, we visit Frank's Slide where in 1903 a good portion of a mountain buried the mine and village of Frank.
