Child & Family Programs

Held in the mornings behind the Nature Centre in our Natural Play Space, this nature-based program for 2-5 year-olds is designed to inspire a life-long love of the outdoors. Explore the natural world together through walks, storytelling, imaginative and loose parts play, and hands-on discovery.

Grab your binoculars and bring the family! Join instructors and other bird lovers for a hands-on birding adventure. You’ll learn how to identify different species by noticing their colours, sizes, shapes, behaviours, habitats, and songs — a great way to explore nature together.

These hands-on programs are planned to take advantage of seasonal changes and local expertise to create age-appropriate experiences with a goal to inspire a lifelong love of gardening.

Discovery Camps are about fun, education and respect set in one of the most biologically diverse natural areas in Canada.
