About Barkerville:
Barkerville Historic Town & Park has been welcoming fields trips from schools across British Columbia and beyond for decades, but with the onset of the onset of the COVID-19 State of Emergency, those field trips in 2020 have been cancelled. We know that this has left a hole in the hearts of many students, parents, and educators. As our schools work hard to adapt to the COVID-19 State of Emergency, we’ve been working hard to adapt as well!
