PINE after school programs are outdoor fun and games, with a hint of nature education, wilderness living skills, and amazing survival skills integrated throughout. When kids get out of school, the best thing for them is to be outside, run around and have an adventure or two! In this program we’ll be climbing trees, playing outdoor games, sneaking up on each other and learning to be more comfortable in the outdoors each season. It’s awesome!

When: Ten week seasons in the Fall, Winter, Spring
Location: Sorauren Park, High Park, and the Humber Valley
Cost: $20 registration fee plus donation (extra donations are asked of those with the means)
Programs fill fast, so feel free to contact us to get on the waiting list for future openings and updates. If we get enough of a waiting list, there is an option for a second program starting up.

P.I.N.E. after school programming consists of three ten-week sessions (fall, winter, spring) run once/week in 2hr sessions.

A $20 registration fee per child is required, and then we ask that you pay what you can afford, by donation. All donations go directly toward supporting the After School Programs.

Numbers are limited to 12 per program.
