Local School Groups

Our expansive property provides a variety of venue options to cater to groups of all sizes. Imagine yourself skiing and riding atop a mountain, against the exquisite backdrop of the deep blue Salish Sea and the snow-laden Coast Mountains, or gliding across Strathcona Park, surrounded by pristine, old-growth trees and a riot of colourful wildflowers underfoot.

Mt. Washington Alpine Resort, situated on Vancouver Island, captivates visitors with its remarkable landscapes. From vast mountain terrains to the mesmerizing views of the Comox Glacier, and the untouched serene beauty of the ancient old-growth forests in Strathcona Park, the resort is genuinely a natural wonder. Whether you're planning a wedding, a private retreat, or a school group trip, it serves as the perfect setting for your next adventure.
