School & Youth Groups
Play, Learn & Grow in Nature!
Our engaging and thoughtfully planned outdoor education activities are designed to make sure that students leave us feeling more confident, more connected, and with plenty of laughs and great memories! They can be tailored to specific curriculum outcomes to satisfy the needs of any grade level in the areas of science, leadership, physical education, and many more!
Our nature and science-based programs are designed to help students feel more comfortable outdoors and provide them with knowledge about the environment surrounding them.
Our leadership and team-building programs offer students opportunities to work collaboratively with their peers, show empathy and kindness for others, look for ways to give back, challenge themselves to step outside of their comfort zones, increase their respect for nature, and try activities they might never have tried before!
We also offer several arts and culture activities, including cooking in our outdoor kitchen or making ceramics in our pottery studio.
All proceeds from booking our facility go towards delivering the life-changing experience of camp to children and youth with chronic health conditions and other life challenges.
