Program Description:
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, they often just want to 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! They may even find that they learn a thing or two along the way.

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)
