Outdoor Education
A FREE program for Kindergarten to Grade 8!
Camp Kawartha, winner of 20 awards for its work in environmental education and stewardship, is excited to launch Outdoor Learning at Your School – a series of curriculum-linked programming that we can teach your students at your own schoolyard. Not only are each of the programs linked to the Ontario curriculum, but they also support the landmarks of the Pathway to Stewardship and Kinship Program, led by Camp Kawartha and are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Teacher Training at Your School
Thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Camp Kawartha is offering 10 hands-on workshops to help teachers use their own schoolyard and nearby natural areas as an extension of their classroom at no cost to you! The latest research is demonstrating the tremendous physical and mental health benefits of time spent in nature. Students are happier, focus better and cooperate more fully even after a brief period of time spent in your schoolyard, or nearby green space.
