Outdoor education club
Organisers: Mr Hall, Mr Casper and Mr Hunter
Outdoor education at Luther College began in the mid-1970s with Luther College biology teacher Randy Brooks coordinating field trips for his high school students. At that time, grade 11s hiked and repelled in the Montana Badlands, while senior students canoed on Otter Lake, along the Churchill River.
Since then, outdoor education has become a popular co-curricular club that invites grades 10 through 12 students who love the great outdoors and are willing experience something new to participate in special wilderness experiences. In the winter season, students camp out in Moose Mountain Provincial Park. In early June, the students of Luther College high school travel nine hours north to carry on the school’s legacy of canoeing Otter Lake.
As part of the Churchhill River, scenic Otter Lake is connected to a chain of lakes that span the width of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, eventually emptying in Hudson Bay.
"We hope that this year's canoe trip will foster a life-long love of the outdoors, build new friendships, and help to develop responsible, independent people," says outdoor education club co-coordinator and teacher, Dave Hall.

The Luther choirs have won many choral music competitions and been awarded countless honours and prizes over the years. Competitions include the Saskatchewan Music Festival, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's national amateur choir radio competition, and Unifest, a competition sponsored by the University of Saskatchewan. In May 2009, the choir was invited to perform at the Association of Canadian Choral Communities National Conference held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
There are several choirs at Luther College including, the Girls Choir, the Handbell Choirs, Ave, and the Senior Choir. The Senior Choir is a non-auditioned choir made up of boys and girls from grades 10 through 12. This choir performs numerous times each year in schools, churches, conventions and celebrations. The choir also performs annually at the Luther College Candlelight service before Christmas, and the Luther College Home Concert at the end of the choir season. The choirs are renowned for the variety, high quality and wide range of repertoire it presents, which includes choral music from Canadian composers, folk songs, hymns, pop and jazz arrangements, and classical music from the renaissance to the twentieth century.
Raised in Regina, Ms. Melissa Morgan is the director of the music and the Pfeifer Memorial Chair of Music at Luther College high school. The Senior Choir is honoured to be a showcase choir at the Rocky Mountain Music Festival this April, 2011.
