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.
Nature Club is an outdoor after-school program for participants aged 4–11. After gathering at Laura Secord School, the group walks to a park within the Wolseley community to play. With the guidance of Momenta’s staff, there is a focus on relationship-building (to self, to each other, and to outdoor spaces), risky play, and child-led discovery. Nature Club is a fun, meaningful way to increase physical activity, explore the community, and get outside!
Nature Club is currently full, and registration is closed.
![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
