PARENT & CHILD
Parent Participation Programs
We love to support families looking to spend more time outdoors with their children.
​
We offer several programs that allow you to get out in nature with your little one with the mentorship of a nature educator.
​
Are you a parent or caregiver looking to get some exercise and fresh air with your little one? Come hike with us!
​
We welcome parents, grandparents and caregivers of all ages with a newborn - 18 month old.
​
Hikes will be held at various locations around Hamilton including the RBG, Bruce Trail, and local conservation areas.
Chaque jour à l'école en forêt est différent, selon l'endroit où les enfants nous guident dans leur jeu. Nous passons tout le temps à l'extérieur dans la nature. Les enfants sont inspirés par le lieu, le temps et les saisons, ainsi que leurs interactions les uns avec les autres. Les merveilles, les idées et les intérêts des enfants guident leur apprentissage.
