Led by our own TRUSU KIS Hiking Club (trusu.ca/club/tru-hiking-club/) a hike at Kenna Cartwright Nature Park offers an exciting and scenic way to explore the natural beauty surrounding Thompson Rivers University (TRU). As part of the international student orientation, this hike allows newcomers to connect with the local environment, meet fellow students, and enjoy breathtaking views of Kamloops and the surrounding hills. The park features a network of trails suitable for all fitness levels, providing an opportunity to immerse in the outdoors while learning about the region's flora and fauna. Whether you're an avid hiker or simply looking for a relaxed stroll, the hike at Kenna Cartwright is the perfect introduction to the natural wonders of your new home in Kamloops.

Students will gather at the foyer of the International Building before heading out together.

The Summer Festival is the perfect way to wrap up your international student orientation with a fun and vibrant celebration! In collaboration with Kamloops Art Party, this event will offer students a chance to unleash their creativity by participating in interactive art activities. Whether you're painting, crafting, or simply enjoying the process, it's a great way to relax and connect with fellow students. The festival will also feature live music, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere, creating the perfect setting for making lasting memories. This is a wonderful opportunity to unwind, explore your artistic side, and enjoy the summer spirit as you settle into your new life at TRU.
