Little Hikers Nature School

Looking for a fun, river, nature, laughter, and adventure packed camp for the summer?!?! We have a few spots left in our July 6 week, July 13 week, and July 20 week!
These spots will go fast!
Contact [email protected] for all the information!
COME PLAY WITH US!

Sometimes it’s about the destination, sometimes it’s all about getting there. We explored new spots this week, helped plant with Durham Parks and Recreation, and cleaned up a massive bag of trash. We conquered new heights, smelled the flowers, helped our community and had loads of fun!

Did someone say MUD?!?!?!? We love it!!!

Can everyone say WATER PLAY?!?!?!
With the beautiful weather this week, we finally got to really explore the river. We threw sticks, dug in the sand, splashed in the water, and some kiddos even sat down in the river! The river is cold, and we still had so much fun!!!

It was wet this week….. We got a little carried away and did some creek exploring! It was cold, and so much fun! These kiddos are water babes, can’t wait for the warmer weather, when we can get soaked!

Rain days are fun days! All dressed up in our rain gear, excited to play. Splashing in puddles, ring around the rosey! And mud, glorious mud!

Teamwork makes the dream work! One friend found an amazing stick. More friends wanted a turn with the stick, so they problem solved! They worked out a plan to all carry it, and all kiddos were happy!

More snow and ice exploration this week. We painted, sat on, carried and used a microscope on ice and snow this week. The kiddos got a close up look under the microscope! They used watercolors to make the snow and ice even more beautiful. One friend carried a huge chunk of snow, and another used it as a resting spot!

We are nominated!! Best Nature Preschool and Summer Camp! We love y’all!

Some days are better than others! Those days are SNOW DAYS! We had the best time this week with the snow and ice. We spent time sliding down hills, exploring in the woods, experimenting with water colors, and slipping and sliding on our very short hike!

Getting ready for Monday!!!

Another great day with a wonderful outdoor nap time. It was around 0 Celsius today. We live in Quebec, 🇨🇦. They are all wearing their full winter gear!! They are all warm and comfy and slept very well!! ❤️
