Our Spring programs for children in grades 3 - 8 are full of life. We can hardly wait to explore the wonders of creation together as we experience wild foraging in the forest, animal husbandry and new life, the miracle of gardening and seed growth, wetland development and exploration, pond study, local flora and fauna study, nature crafting & building, and friendship and community building.

Programs are outdoors, hands on, and lead by a licensed and experienced Ontario Qualified Teacher, a practicing Veterinarian, and volunteer.

Check out our website for more information on who we are and what we do here. We really can't wait to meet you and enjoy learning together in the great outdoors.

Our class sizes are intentionally small and there are limited spots available. Contact us today.

Gr.6 - 8: Thursdays April 30 - June 11
Gr.3 - 5: Tuesdays May 5 & 19,
June 2 & 16
