A nature club in Toronto’s Urban Wilderness – just for kids!
Spring is a great time of year to spot creatures waking up from hibernation, observe bird migration, and discover plants as they regain their foliage.
Experienced leaders will guide participants in hands-on exploration of these phenomena and more as we immerse ourselves in the wilderness of Tommy Thompson Park.
The Tommy Thompson Park Nature Club is an opportunity for youngsters ages 6-12 to develop long-lasting relationships with the natural world and each other.
We will meet weekly to:
- Practice and develop our naturalist skills
- Explore on nature hikes
- Play games
- Create nature-based crafts
- Participate in stewardship activities
- Have fun!
Dates: Sundays from April 7 to May 12, 2024 (April 7, 14, 21, 28, May 5, 12)
Fees: $190 for a six-week session*
*Please note: Fees are for the entire session, not on a day-by-day basis unless otherwise specified. We will not refund fees for days missed, and any day missed cannot be made up.
Minks (Ages 6-9):
