Spring Nature Centre @ Laurentian Ski Hill



​               Looking for a great year end field trip for your class?  For the months of May and June, Nature & You will be operating at the top of Laurentian Ski Hill at the trailhead to the Laurentian Escarpment Conservation Area.  
               This is a perfect setting for programming.  We are running the same high quality programs and activities that we bring to schools, using the beautiful natural surroundings of these trails.  A full day would consist of a morning program, lunch, and an afternoon program, with some other games and activities usually thrown into the mix.            
              As the programs run outside all day, there are basic amenities in terms of buildings: covered picnic tables for snack and lunch, indoor washrooms, and access to the the indoor space in case of a weather emergency.
