School Programs

Our programs are designed to meet specific curriculum expectations. All programs have an outdoor component, and many can be used to fulfill Daily Physical Activity requirements. Our programs also help to foster character development in children.

Programs can be customized to meet specific needs, or to cover specific topics. Please note any special needs, or specific topics you would like us to focus on when you book your programs.

To see programs, with their curriculum connections, click on the apNature Centrepropriate grade/stream below.

School Registration Information

Each program is half a day in duration. We recommend that you choose two programs to make a full day at the Arboretum for grades one and up. All programs have many participatory activities to keep the students interested and involved. The students should be suitably dressed for outdoor activities (i.e. comfortable shoes, raincoats, hats and mittens, etc.).
