Kids Bushcraft Skills

We run a full day Friday Forest Program at the Tapiola Outdoor Education Centre.  In the afternoons, from 1:30 to 3pm our Program has a dedicated bushcraft activity / skill. We open up this portion of the day to families that want to drop in to participate in this portion of our Forest School program. While geared towards kids 7-12, all ages and families welcome, however, spots are limited based on the activity, with most activities limited to 10 spots.

The cost to participate is $10/family, which is meant to help cover our costs for the event.
