All camps take place in our unique outdoor garden classroom set on 110 acres of boreal forest as well as surrounding trails and nearby Campbell Creek for the kids to explore (weekly walking field trips off site are scheduled each week)! Expert staff lead campers through fun, hands-on, science-based environmental education activities. Each unique camp offers a chance for your child to go in depth into the subjects that interest them the most! All camp materials are provided as well as weekly take-home projects. Regardless of the week’s theme, campers will participate in weekly garden maintenance, learn team-building skills and leave-no trace principles that will be incorporated into daily walks and games.
