What's new and developing at Cottage Resort and Cranberry Ridge Cottage Suites on Salt Spring Island...

Openings

We have 3 of our luxury cottage suites set up for 1 or 2 couples, you can learn more about that by visiting www.cranberryridge.com.

How about a romantic getaway by the lake? The great feature about our suites is that you can enjoy them all day long and by making your own meals you can chose your time and location. Of course canoes, cable tv/vcr or dvd are all included as well.

Similarly we have some standard cottages available at Cottage Resort ranging from small studio size cottages all the way to large 3-bedroom homes. Our cottages are all very family friendly.

What to Do?

The Island is alive with the arts. There is live entertainment at ArtSpring and our local restaurants and art shows in galleries and other venues. Our challenge is choosing between so many options.

Meanwhile our cottage industries are beginning to prepare for another growing season.

Many local artists, authors and musicians offer workshops at this time of year. So in case you want to explore your inner artist this may be a good time of year for a visit.

Check with us about what is happening around town during the dates you plan to visit.

Or if your group wants a great getaway for a craft or social weekend give us a call and we can set something up for you.

Fiddleworks has announced they will have two camps this summer:
* Registration opens March 1st.

* July 21-25 2008, for Experienced Players (Intermediate & Advanced)

* Aug 18-22 2008, Salt Spring Fiddle Workshop (All Ages & Levels)

Spring Break onwards Recreation

There are a number of fun family things to do on Salt Spring in the Spring.

On a nice, fresh day a canoe on the lake can be very invigorating; at time to chat with your co-paddler while you watch the water fowl search for food.

Similarly a guided kayak trip in Ganges Harbour or other protect bay can offer hours enjoyment and education as the guide can offer information about the marine life that is so easily viewed from a kayak. These tours can be set up for all skill levels and can be 2, 3 or 4 hours in length, usually commencing around 10:30-11:00 AM.

Interpretive hikes are also available on a wide variety of trails around Salt Spring. The hike we recommend is the 'lunch' hike as the guide brings along a great bite to eat at a rest point on the hike. Commencing around 11 AM these hikes can take 2-3 hours and be suited to all ages.

The Wall on Salt Spring offers a wonderful indoor recreation opportunity for families providing climbing fitness, training and a lot of social fun. The Wall features four 24 foot climbing surfaces, 9 belay set-ups and a variety of features (chimneys, overhangs, etc). Bouldering is also available. A training program of 2-3 hours is available for groups of 3 or more.

Another indoor facility is set to open this winter. Our indoor swimming pool will begin offering a variety swimming and exercise programs.

Is your family looking for something active to do together over Spring Break? Give us a call as we can set up a package of a variety of recreational activities, both indoor and outdoor that can be done together as a family such as fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, climbing, cycling, golfging, crafting etc, etc.
