2025/2026 Winter Term 2
Hi grads!
We hope everyone recovered from the Ski Trip because it’s that time of the year again… Grad Council’s Surf Trip is coming soon! 🏄🏼♀️🏄🏾♂️
Here is everything you need to know. Fill out the attached form as soon as possible to sign up!
What is it?
Every year at the end of term we sail off to the Island for a weekend of surf! Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced surfer you’re going to have so much fun :)
You don’t want to surf? No problem: you can chill on the beach, hike around, visit the Ucluelet Aquarium, and then enjoy food, drinks and s’mores with everyone else!
Where is it?
We will be staying at the Surf Junction Campground close to Ucluelet. Hot tub and sauna on site!
It is possible to rent surf gear there, and our group will get a 20% discount. Additionally, if anyone is interested in a group lesson, we have a discounted rate for that too.
When is it?
The trip is going to take place from Saturday, April 25th to Monday, April 27th included.
We are planning on taking the 8:35 am ferry and come back on the 8:15 pm ferry (with arrival at Tsawwassen at 10:15 pm). Plan for a day off :)
How do we get there?
As usual, we are looking for cars! If you have a car, you will have priority.
We will book the ferry tickets for everyone, so you don’t need to worry about that :)
How much does it cost? What is included?
The total cost of the trip depends on how many people and how many cars we have. In the past years we kept it under 80$ per person. This includes ferries, gas, parking, campground, one communal meal. It doesn't include other meals and surf gear rental.
How do I sign up?
In order to sign up, please fill out the form linked below and e-transfer a non-refundable deposit of 50$ to filippo.cicchetti@gmail.com .
There are limited spots, first come first serve!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
Hope to see you all soon at Long Beach!
