Information
What
Groot Outdoors operates year round providing forest nature experiences to children in multi-aged groups. At our outdoor program, children will learn to foster a healthy relationship with Land, Story, Play, Trust, Power, Learning, and Risk. We offer a range of recreational programs that include morning,
afternoon, after-school, and PD sessions. We also offer specialized school programs upon request.
Where
Groot Outdoors provides opportunities to explore nature in the blowing snow, the shining sun, the pouring rain, and everything in between! In extreme weather conditions, we will utilize our indoor workshop (BASECAMP), located in
Morden Alliance Church. Every other day, you will find us climbing trees or playing in the dirt and snow at Morden Park!
Why
Nature is critical for children's development as it encourages physical activity, creativity, and resilience. Spending time outdoors boosts mental well-being, reduces stress, and enhances cognitive abilities. Our programs at Groot Outdoors provide hands-on learning experiences that promote
environmental stewardship, teamwork, and problem-solving skills while developing a lifelong appreciation for nature.

Our experienced team of educators believe in the transformative power of the outdoors to inspire personal growth, teamwork, and environmental stewardship.
