🔥 Outdoor Adventure Speed Dating (Ages 20-35) 🔥

Tired of dating apps? So are we! That’s why we’re hosting two exciting outdoor adventure speed dating events on Feb 10 & Mar 13 in Saanich near Beaver Lake.

💚 Not your typical speed dating!
This unique event takes dating outside—literally! You'll be paired up to complete fun outdoor challenges while getting to know each other in creative ways (like asking questions without using words that contain the letter "A" 👀). After a set time, pairs will switch, giving you a chance to meet multiple people in a relaxed, pressure-free setting.

🔥 End the night around a cozy campfire with s’mores, hot chocolate, and great conversation. The first half focuses on one-on-one connections, while the second half lets everyone mingle as a group.

✨ No awkward pressure—just fun, adventure, and new connections!

Will you win the challenge? Or just win someone’s heart? 😉

📅 Spots are limited, so sign up now here: https://www.westernadventures.ca/adult-outdoor-social-adventures.htm

The program is youth-driven, encouraging independence, teamwork, and responsibility. Have your kid try a few meetings for free or join a trip without committing to a full year!

This past week teens experienced what this island has to offer on our Sayward Forest Canoeing Expedition Summer Camp. Youth travelled across lakes large and small, were challenged by portages (traveling from lake to lake), small, low-risk rivers and beaver. Like with most of WEA's programs, teens learn trip specific skills like canoe rescues, how to paddle, portaging, how to camp and cook. Along with soft skills like leadership, conflict resolution and other life skills.

Check out the photos of the views they experienced!
