Step Ahead Shoes – Official Sponsor of ClubSEE

Step Ahead Shoes is pleased to be the official sponsor of the University of Saskatchewan’s ClubSEE. The Extension Division at the University of Saskatchewan has been conducting ecology immersion camps since 1990. ClubSEE was born in 1999 to consolidate the growing number of education tours and camps we have available to people who want to learn about nature and culture. The acronym SEE stands for Science, Education, and Ethics: the three fundamentals of saving from destruction the
earth's ecosystems and their declining biodiversity.

Science
- ClubSEE is committed to scientifically accurate knowledge about Nature, ecosystems, species (including human cultures), and how all interact and inter-depend.

Education - Education and learning go hand in hand. Club SEE believes that the most effective and profound learning is experiential learning: immersing your total being; your body, your senses, your mind; in the subject you are going to learn more about.

Ethics - No one should be entering wilderness without seriously considering what impact your journey may have, and planning the steps you will take to minimize; yes eliminate that impact. If you are prepared to take on this responsibility, you are exercising a wilderness ethic.
