Nature After-school
In our After-school Outdoor Recreational Program, kids get to play in our beloved Fern Gully Forest that is just one block from ORLA off Boulevard and 15th Ave SE.
We play with nature observations and creations, yoga, meditation, mindfulness practices, stories, dance, making music and art. We help children build essential skills to be successful in school and in life. This includes increased awareness, self-expression, confidence, interpersonal and emotional regulation skills.
