OUTDOOR PROGRAMS

 

There is no better way to discover the lessons of the natural world than through guided exploration at one of our Outdoor Classroom locations.



Outdoor Classroom activities have been developed by Mike James, a biology teacher, to complement the curriculum of various age groups. Elementary to Senior students (grades K-12) can participate in studies and activities at either the Boreal Woods Nature Centre or the Stony Fossils program at Mariash Quarry.

 

Visits to the boreal forest and quarry may be a 1/2 day field trip or a full day of outdoor learning. The Boreal Woods Nature Centre also offers unique overnight experiences and longer excursion packages well suited to senior students.
