PA DAY CAMPS

PA Day Nature Camp
@ Tommy Thompson Park, Toronto

For ages 8 to 12 years

PA Day Nature Camp offers a chance to spend PA days outdoors exploring the natural world of Tommy Thompson Park.

The park is home to birds, mammals, insects and more! In cooler-weather seasons, we’ll see how the bird species change, keep our eyes out for tracks and scat of mammals, and look for evidence of insects having entered into winter mode.

PA Day Camps
@ Kortright Centre for Conservation, Woodbridge

For ages 4 to 10 years

Come to the Kortright Centre for Conservation on your PA Day.

Each day begins with an adventure in a woodland setting. Children interact with the natural environment through the use of loose parts, creative play, shelter building, whittling wood, cooking over an open fire, knots, making woodland crafts and sharing stories.

This child-led approach to learning is exploratory, inquiry based, fun and unhurried.

Let Albion Hills’ inspiring 1200 acre conservation park become their backyard as they make new friends, connect with nature, grow and learn.

Overnight Summer Camp at Claremont Nature Centre in Pickering

Give your child the opportunity to make the 400 acres of Claremont Nature Centre their home for a week!

Claremont camps focus on the individual while helping develop a deep connection with nature and prioritizing skill-based learning. With the support of our experienced camp counselors, campers will learn how to build shelters and fires, practice their identification skills and search for wild edibles in the forest.
