Outdoor Education

Education and Leadership

Let’s go outside!

Momenta’s Outdoor Education programs offer skill-based, structured learning designed to build confidence and competence in nature year-round, right here in Winnipeg and across Manitoba. Guided by experienced, certified educators, participants develop essential outdoor skills like fire building, outdoor cooking, and water filtration, alongside foundational outdoor sports focused on travel such as hiking, cross-country skiing, canoeing, and cycling.
Beyond technical abilities, our programs deeply focus on connecting and building relationships through outdoor activity. As participants hone their outdoor skills, they simultaneously cultivate crucial prosocial, communication, and interpersonal skills needed to overcome group challenges and foster a profound understanding of themselves, others, and their place in the world.

Momenta designs programs for classrooms, schools, agencies, communities or any group of youth who would like to take learning outdoors!

  • Transformational: Activities and discussions ensure lessons-learned transfer to one’s everyday lives.
  • Customized: Programs designed to suit the age, group size and goals of each group.
