Thank you to all the families who took part in our 2024 Sprouts Day Camp recreational summer programs. A total of 41 children enjoyed a week of nature exploration, play and connection.
Many children successfully went outside their comfort zone, trying new things like first time holding a bug, first time climbing a tree, first time using a portable toilet. Lots of smiles and confidence boosting happened!
Thank you to our day camp staff, Jay-leena and Jason, who successfully employed a forest school approach to facilitate activities and experiences designed to boost children’s self-confidence and develop their interpersonal, self-awareness and emotional regulation skills while allowing them to follow their natural curiosity and connect with nature.
Sprouts Day Camps feature activities such as:

- Free play & nature exploration
- Sports and active games
- Stories and imaginative play
- Arts & crafts
- Hands-on science and nature exploration
- Mindfulness & gratitude activities
- Playground & splash park play
- Short walks (with lots of breaks) to nearby pockets of nature
- And more!
