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.
Delivered around the fields, forests, and creeks of Woodhaven Park, in-service programs are an opportunity for participants to consider their relationship to the natural world. Momenta’s staff facilitates an environment for child-led inquiry, risky play, and outdoor adventure to develop positive social connections and inspire land stewardship!
We run Forest and Nature School programs on in-service days in Winnipeg. Programs take place at Woodhaven Community Centre from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. The program is for children aged 4 to 11 years old.
Please contact us if you have any questions or register here!
![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
