Hooksum Outdoor School

Happy Holidays from Hooksum Outdoor School.

Hooksum Outdoor School remains closed for 2020.

Thanks to the great generosity of Taylor Gunstone, Hesquiaht Language Program will soon receive 5 new tablets, furthering our goal to connect fluent speakers to... language learners through video calling! Taylor is one of Hooksum Outdoor School’s alumni (2009 May Training shown here) and continues to work for the protection of our coastal world from his home in Tofino. Your support is uplifting to us, and we hope it is the same for you and your growing family, Taylor! See more

For the past 20 + years, my parents have operated Hooksum Outdoor School out of Ayi’saaqh Hesquiaht Harbour. This is how we welcome and bring guests/participan...ts/instructors/family/friends ashore and bring them out. Since I was maybe 11 or 12, this became one of my favourite jobs and still is.
