Our History
Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park has a rich history of fostering experiential learning through its field trips and education programs. What began as an initiative to introduce visitors to the wonders beneath the surface has grown into a renowned educational activity. Over time the program offerings expanded , encompassing not only guided explorations of the cave park but also customized curriculum based classroom visits for all ages.
As the popularity of the education program offered by Hidden Realm Adventures increased, V.I. EcoLearn was created in 2023 to help remove barriers for participation in outdoor education. Through our partnership with Hidden Realm Adventures, we can offer opportunities for increased people and place consciousness in the central Vancouver Island Region.
