Explore Nature Outdoor Education programs are created with the concept of experiential learning, exploring our curiosity for nature and the natural world.
With a core focus on positive connection with ourselves, positive connection with others, positive connection with nature our programs embrace the true concept of nature connection through meaningful experiences and relationship focusing on personal growth and well-being.
Committed to the physical, educational, social, emotional and mental health of young learners our program works with our on staff social worker/psychologist to help children build their confidence, self-esteem and a strong foundation for overall wellness. A portion of the cost of our programs can be claimed back through most extended health care benefits that have coverage.
Our goal is to provide an outdoor learning experience that embraces positivity and connection. Our program is committed to the physical, educational, social, emotional, and mental health of young learners, ensuring that they build a strong sense of self-confidence and resiliency.
Provide opportunities to create situations that motivate and empower children to feel confident, take supported risks and assess conditions in a caring and supportive environment.
Relationship building is invaluable for every child and everyone. A connection to others and contributing as a group and a community enhance children's sense of belonging (Ministry of Education, 2014). Inclusivity is paramount. Every child will be welcomed, included, listened to, and appreciated for their viewpoint and individuality. We will be exploring and learning together.
As we respect ourselves and others, so too we respect nature. Kindness and gratitude to nature is an essential element of outdoor learning. Together we will strive to become responsible and exceptional stewards of our environment, learning about and taking good care of the plants, trees and animals around us.
“Children and youth should have the opportunity to play and learn in forests, parks, meadows, and mud puddles” (Outdoor Play Canada, 2018).
