Learning need not end when school is out
Let the GRCA’s Ontario-certified teachers take your child’s school break to the next level of learning! Get your child outdoors to learn to care for the outdoors.
Every year, the GRCA’s Ganaraska Millennium Conservation Area is converted into a safe and exciting day camp for Summer and March Break (ages 7–14*). Children in these age groups are invited to participate in a variety of engaging lessons, games, crafts, and challenges that encourage fun and memorable learning about the environment.
Our camp has several field spaces for large group games, native species gardens to investigate, a forested trail to explore, a pavilion for shady open air lunches, and a cooled indoor retreat from the heat and inclement weather. This is all conveniently located just a few meters north of the 401 in Port Hope.
*For March Break camp, previous Nature Nuts L.I.T. Campers, between ages 11–14, may also register
