March break session March 15th-19th, Spring session will start in April.
During Covid times I will only be accepting 4 students. Please, rest assured that all health and safety measures will be in effect. It will be a great opportunity for students to focus on themselves as well as taking in what nature has to offer. Students aged 8 to 12 will develop their skills while exploring nature’s beauty. We will be outdoors each day on guided walks/hikes, mindfulness activities, nature based crafts, shelters and nature based activities. Students will add to a daily journal as an activity to take home some great memories. The Program runs from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm each day. 8:45 check-in and 3:30 pick up (with a 15 minute grace period for pick up) extra fees will apply if later without making arrangements. The fee per student is $225 for the week. Half of the payment ($125.00) is required at registration to hold space and other half by start date. Payment to be made by E-transfer to [email protected]
