Are there opportunities to stay in touch with family and friends during the semester?
The Lodge does not have cell service, however there is Wi-fi in the COLT student building. Since we are quite far out in the wilderness our connection is slower than what most people are used to and can be patchy at times. That being said it is generally good enough for emails and skype calls. If you have an important phone call to make we can get you access to one of the phone lines in the nearby office building.
You can also arrange for people to come visit you on your days off. If your visitors want to stay overnight, we suggest they book a room or cabin at Strathcona Park Lodge. We can also recommend near by camp grounds for budget options.
