Summer Nature Camp
We believe that regular and extended time in nature has benefits well beyond the educational and environmental aspect. Time spent in nature has a positive effect on the well-being of an individual.
Update January 12, 2025.
Summer Nature Camp, 2025
Our home base will be at Port Weller Public School, located at 273 Parnell Rd, St. Catharines.
We are a short walk away from the Welland Canal, Sunset Beach, Port Weller Splash Pad, as well as other green spaces and parks!
Our programs are designed to create a setting that is child-lead/democratic, naturally inclusive and nature-based.
Each week, we allow Nature and the Children to determine the focus. What will be the theme of the week? The answer will depend on the children’s activities – one week it may revolve around short stories and novels, while the next week we might be campaigning to save baby toads or setting up a store to sell our creations.
Experienced and trained facilitators provide resources to support the children’s interests and establish an inviting environment where children have a safe yet adventurous space to explore.
Our students participate in what they are interested in. Nature provides the opportunities, and the teachers help with the tools. Examples are: shelter building and survival skills, games, photography, painting, sketching, recycling, preservation and restoration projects and more!
