Project Sunset is an opportunity for students to take part in a program that encourages a community-centred approach aimed at building youth resiliency. Led by local law enforcement, including Dryden Police, Treaty Three Police Service, and OPP Detachments in Kenora, Dryden, Sioux Lookout and Fort Frances, the program works with community partners to build positive relationships with students and encourage participation in a wide variety of activities, including hands-on outdoor education opportunities as well as in-school activities.
The program engages our students in positive, alternative-based activities like hiking, camping, rock climbing and rappelling, water sports, and community service learning projects. Project Sunset embeds a strength based experiential learning model, is designed to engage youth and aims to prevent substance misuse and related problems through:
- Classroom-based problem-solving activities
- Outdoor experiential activities
- Adventure camps and treks
- Community-oriented service learning
The program is offered at New Prospect Public School in Dryden, Evergreen Public School in Kenora, and Sioux Mountain Public School in Sioux Lookout.
