About this Event
What is it?
Spring Break Camp is a week long program offered at Scout Island Nature Centre led by educator Mark Gill. Children, aged 7-11, can register for the week and participate in child-led creative projects/games, form friendships and explore nature. As creatures begin to wake from their winter slumber, we'll lean into the opportunities that variable spring weather presents and get curious about birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians; rocks and water.

Teaching Philosophy
Instruction and play are founded on reciprocity with the natural world, child-led exploration, and a sense of wonder. Programs are designed for a dozen or less children to ensure child-focused interactions.
Children should bring:
- Weather appropriate cloting (warm jacket, winter boots, mitts/gloves)
- A garbage-free snack and lunch (children can win prizes for lunches with no garbage)
- A water bottle
- A change of clothes
