LEARNING OUTDOORS: USING NATURE’S CLASSROOM FOR EXCEPTIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMMING FOR K-6
Dear Teachers,
It is with great regret that we must inform you that our Lessons in a Backpack programming has been cancelled for this Spring.
Last week we were informed by the Ryerson Camp that we could not use that property to deliver our programs. This has negatively impacted our Norfolk Forest School as well. It was a heartless and devestating decision by the Ryerson Camp, a project of the United Church Outdoor Ministry – Hamilton Chapter, just 6 weeks before our programming was to begin.
We now have to pivot and focus on readying our new permanent site for the fall semester. In September 2024 our full complement of outdoor programming for local schools will be available, along with our $200 subsidy per school for bussing.
Thank you for your understanding,
The Nature’s Calling Team
