Register for the event:
This summer the Prince Albert playground supervisors and Wildernook Fresh Air Learning are teaming up to host an engaging forest adventure at Little Red River Park. During this three-hour day camp, teams work together to solve fun challenges to ‘unlock’ what they need for their next forest experience. Forest experiences include an entertaining Sandhill construction challenge, learning about local plants with local elder, Liz Settee, and visiting some of the aquatic wildlife living in the park.
Rain or shine, children will be actively learning outdoors for three hours. Families please remember to have your child dress for the weather, pack sufficient water, snacks, and sunscreen. See you in the woods!
Covid Safety
All activities will be outdoors, masks are optional. Children will travel in small group cohorts and we will provide hand sanitizer throughout the event.
