KidVentures (Ages 3 & up)
Our new outdoor program, KidVentures, aims to develop a sense of understanding and respect for nature and the environment through shared outdoor experiences. Using safety-oriented, creative and fun outdoor activities, children will learn how to live in harmony with nature and foster a sense of community within it. Imagine tracking animal footprints in the snow, following treasure maps through our forested area, building a compost and gardening throughout the year, learning about bear safety, and building a Quinzhee (snow igloo), learning how to pitch a tent, zip lining safely. We promote outdoor stewardship fun through our various outdoor zones and nature play, all while gaining valuable skills such as map-reading and map-making, how to build outdoor shelters, wild animal awareness and safety, and appropriate outdoor dress.
