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 technical outdoor 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.
Place Based Education
Our Foresthood programs are designed to connect children to nature. Curriculum is developed by observing child’s play, when themes emerge we use inquiry-based learning to develop knowledge or solutions.
Counseling
Momenta’s clinical team works with children, adolescents, and adults as individuals, with their families and/or in groups. We connect with clients using an adventure and strengths-based approach. Our goal is to help our clients discover their strengths and their confidence through therapeutic conversations and activities.
![Last Friday, I had a beautiful day. It began driving into the sunrise to meet a group of 26 educators to talk about outdoor learning. As they reflected about their morning, they wondered “what would it be like if all educators advocated for children to play and learn outside?”, I wonder that too.
I then made my way to Momenta’s Foresthood Inservice day excited to hear the stories from the morning. I very quickly got invited to a 100% child led museum that had an exhibit of “artichokes”, us adults may call them artifacts and an experiential art exhibit where all visitors could add their own art pieces. My museum guide was not only welcoming, but encouraged me in my art making process as well. The second photo is an oak leaf [my ticket to the museum] with two stamps showing that I attended two exhibits.
I adore outdoor play and learning, I will continue to advocate for it in all spaces. It’s good for all of us.
