Spring Nature Camp, 2023 Parent Guide

Each day will bring new sights, sounds and adventures, as we explore the woods as it transitions from winter to spring.

We offer a mix of structured and unstructured activities to suit all individuals. Observant staff assist campers by providing necessary tools and guidance for discovery, developing questions and ways to find the answers. The program development is open, which makes what happens at camp each week largely dependent on camper’s interests.

At Nature School and Education Centre, we believe that regular and extended time in nature has benefits well beyond the educational and environmental aspect. Research supports our instinctive belief that time spent in nature has a positive effect on the well-being of an individual.

Children are given the opportunity to  authentically explore, play and take risks in a natural space. With a 1:8 ratio, staff help to facilitate and keep everyone safe! Our inquiry-based philosophy combined with the ‘forest school’ model makes our Nature Camps a space that is positive, enriching  and engaging for all ages.
