🌲 Elk & Acorn Forest School – Winter Semester 2026 🌲
Wednesdays | 6:00 – 8:00 PM | Jan 14 – Feb 18
Ages 8–14 | Denbigh, ON
Theme: Mindful Stewardship & Outdoor Leadership
Let your child step into the winter woods and discover what it means to lead with presence, purpose, and care. Our Winter After-School Forest School Program returns with hands-on wilderness learning, team challenges, bushcraft skills, and deep nature connection.
While we’ll revisit some of the foundational activities from last winter (like fire-making, shelter-building, animal tracking, and nature crafts), every class is tailored to the students in the group. That means returning students will progress their skills and take on new challenges, while new participants are welcomed and supported to learn at their pace.
Our theme this year is Mindful Stewardship — cultivating not just outdoor skills, but the awareness and reverence to care for the land and one another.
🔥 Highlights Include:
Winter shelter-building & fire-making
Sensory awareness & tracking games
Foraging & nature-based mindfulness
Safe tool use, carving & survival skills
Teamwork challenges & journaling reflections
