Outdoor Education
Momenta offers year-round outdoor education and leadership programs in Winnipeg and throughout Manitoba. Programs focus on connecting and building relationships through nature exploration, canoeing, biking and hiking. As participants develop outdoor technical skills, they also develop the pro-social skills, communication and interpersonal skills necessary to overcome challenges within a group and learn about themselves, others, and place.
Forest and Nature School
Forest and Nature School programs are designed to connect children to nature. The curriculum is developed by observing children’s play. When themes emerge, we use inquiry-based learning to build knowledge or solutions. Children are encouraged to interact with nature with all their senses, develop socially, build curiosities about the world, find calm, be physically active, be stewards of the land, and be in nature in safe and age-appropriate ways.
Activity Based Counseling
Momenta’s clinical team works with children, adolescents, and adults as individuals, with their families and/or in groups. We offer strengths-based, activity-based counselling sessions with an anti-oppressive lens. Our counselors are providers for Jordan’s Principle and NIHB.
![These past few days were spent at the @aeeintl conference in Madison, Wisconsin. #aee51 I (Lise) was excited to share this experience with some of the Momenta team. This community is where we find a professional home, where social justice and experiential education is part of all aspects of the organization. Recently, @aeeintl has published the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Field Guide: Stories of Lived Experience. Even more recently a reflection deck has been created to support the book. “It is a book of personal experiences, raised voices, and differing opinions that embody the spirit of Dr. Nina Robert’s and address social challenges that have existed and still exist today” (aee.org) As I and my friend Sugar eagerly go to purchase the reflection deck (we are both authors in the book), I begin to tell Sugar that each story has it’s own reflection card. Sugar opens the tin box that holds the cards and picks up a section of the deck. She glances at the card and says “is that my name?!?” [photo 3] I smile and say “you pulled your own card!” And we both laugh and appreciate this special moment. Our team was proud to present two workshops at the conference: Relationship With Land (Adrian Alphonso, Lise Brown and Oliver Hill), and Honour, Connect, Reflect: Sequencing to Optimize Impact (Lise Brown with Bobbi Beale) Thanks @aeeintl 💚 📍The land of four lakes #RelationshipWithLand
