Our work inspires a vital re-connection between people and nature, community and oneself. We work primarily with children and families in the urban context. Our summer programs now include day and overnight camps in Muskoka as well as Toronto, and a regional training course for adults with a focus on nature connection, mentoring, community building and intergenerational learning. We currently work with over 1800 people per year, with over 500 in long term mentoring relationships where we support children to grow into healthy, active, and resilient people. Our goal is to inspire nature connection in childhood, and long term mentoring relationships to communities all across Ontario.
