We believe that inspired learning comes from inspired teaching. We do this by providing engaging, educational programs which feature hands-on activities, drama, storytelling and active games. Our educators, many teacher-trained, share a lifetime commitment to excellence in education in the outdoors. They combine a wide range of knowledge and experience in natural & environmental science, Canadian history, outdoor living skills, and adventure learning. They are continually upgrading their skills by attending workshops, conferences and courses.

Over 60 Programs in the following Subject Areas

  • Environmental Science
  • Environmental Arts
  • Canadian History & Social Studies
  • Adventure & Leadership
  • Health & Physical Education

Every program is linked to the Ontario Curriculum and our Stewardship Framework.  Teachers can select up to 3 programs from different areas or concentrate in a specific area. We will tailor-design a program to fit a unit of classroom study or to modify existing programs to emphasize an area of learning that you want to focus on. Students benefit from a low student to instructor ratio (approx. one instructor to twelve students) which allows our instructors to provide them with the special attention they need to excel in outdoor learning.
