🎠Explore Ecosystems Through Play! 🌿Join us for a Nature Club workshop at Crescent Drive Park as we team up with Green Kids to dive into the world of nature through theatre games!
This fun and interactive workshop uses drama-based activities to help kids (and kids at heart!) explore science and the environment in creative and memorable ways. While the event is kid-focused, it’s open to all ages—best suited for ages 5 and up.
Activities include:
-Creating tableaus and acting like animals
-Using sock puppets and props to build scenes
-Playing theatre games that explore environmental issues and their root causes
Together, we’ll discover how our actions affect the planet—and how creative expression can inspire positive change. Let’s spark imaginations, inspire eco-activism, and have a whole lot of fun doing it!
This workshop is all about getting outside, meeting new people, and having fun! All bodies and all levels of experience are welcome in this loving and inclusive space.

Safety Protocols
CPAWS Manitoba takes the safety of all program participants seriously.
All CPAWS Manitoba staff members have cleared a criminal record and vulnerable sector background check with the Winnipeg Police Department. We adhere to all public health recommendations and guidelines.
CPAWS policy requires that at least one person leading programming that may involve children must be certified in first aid. This applies to staff or to volunteers.
Weather & Cancellation Policy
We try not to let the weather stop us from getting outside. With the right gear, you can have a great time in most weather conditions.
That being said, safety must always be our top priority. We can’t be outside in a thunderstorm and may need to cancel if roads are hazardous.
Weather forecasts are notoriously unreliable. While we will do our best to monitor and make good judgment calls, there will be times when we decide to cancel and the skies clear and other days when a storm or high winds pop up unexpectedly.
We’ll send out an e-mail alert the day before an event letting registrants know if there’s a good chance we need to cancel. We will check the forecast again a few hours before the event to determine if we can try to go ahead.
