If they’re not at a weekend tournament, CIH Academy students spend their weekends studying, socializing or taking part in an organized activity. They may visit Ottawa, the nation's capital, for outings that are educational (touring Parliament Hill or visiting museums or historic sites) or simply fun (skating on the Rideau Canal, the world's longest outdoor skating rink, or hiking in Gatineau Park). House parents also organize on-campus events to bring students together and foster a sense of family and fun.
