"Pop Up" Scanlon School

Just because school is out doesn’t mean learning has to stop. Our team of Ontario Certified Teachers (OCT), Forest School Practitioners and Outdoor Education Specialists are geared up to provide a positive learning experience for students during temporary school closures.

Students will explore the forests, meadows and wetlands at Scanlon Creek Conservation Area as they learn through our hands-on curriculum-linked outdoor education activities.

In a winter forest setting, three children crouch down on a path, their expressions filled with curiosity as they discover something intriguing along the snowy trail.

Details​​

Please note, this program is only offered when/if school closures occur. Please check back for registration information in the future.
