Getting In Focus Outdoor Nature Program

EXPLORATION....is key. Let the mind be free to explore and heal the mind of the daily worries. Outdoor Nature Program helps to rejuvenate.

Why Wildcraft with Kids?
Kids naturally take to the woods. They love discovering plants, even more so when they learn to identify the plants and use them as both food, teas and medicine.
I try not to “teach” too directly when I’m out with my kids; instead, I spend time showing and doing. They often pick up knowledge quickly and often become inquisitive about the plants growing around us. Especially when they are able to try them in something we have made. Like a wonderful tea and care is taken to remove only what is needed for that tea.

Getting in Focus Outdoor Nature Program… has created a 5 session (Every other Saturday) Program this Fall for kids ages 8 to 12 in Acton.
Starting Saturday October 17th and continuing on the following dates: October 31st,(please note if Halloween does not work it can be changed to November 7th) November 14th, 28th, Dec 12th.
Winter session will start in January. March break session March 15th-19th, Spring session will start in April.
During Covid times I will only be accepting 4 students. Please, rest assured that all health and safety measures will be in effect.
It will be a great opportunity for students to focus on themselves as well as taking in what nature has to offer. Students aged 8 to 12 will develop their skills while exploring nature’s beauty. We will be outdoors each day on guided walks/hikes, mindfulness activities, nature based crafts, shelters and nature based activities. Students will add to a daily journal as an activity to take home some great memories.
Space is limited to 4 students for each session, so if you are interested in enrolling your child or have any further questions, please register now by contacting Gisele Charette-Tremblay at
[email protected] or send me a message through messenger.
If you know of others who might be interested in our Outdoor Program, please spread the
word!
Thank you,

There is growing evidence that children are increasingly disconnected from the natural world. Without direct experiences in nature, research findings suggest that children are missing opportunities to enhance their health and well-being, and to develop responsible long-term environmental behaviour.
During these tough times more students are doing online learning which means more screen time.
Kids need to be out and experience the beauty of each season and embrace its healing power for the mind.

During these uncertain times, kids need to be able to have time to unwind in nature. Nature heals the soul. Check out Getting in Focus Outdoor Nature Program.

Why Kids Need to Spend Time in Nature They may prefer to stick to their screens, but here's why getting children outdoors matters - spending time in nature for mental health.
