Welcome to Forest Play in Canmore!
We believe nature experiences should be fun, magical and facilitated in a way so that children feel safe and supported as they explore the edges of their world. When children are connected to the natural world, they are more connected to themselves, they are happier and more hopeful.
We have built Nature's Tracks Forest Play programs around cycles in nature and the life stages children naturally move through. Our programming foundation is the 8 Shields/Coyote Mentoring Model (www.8shields.org). It is unique blend of traditional knowledge from cultures around the world, scientific research and is grounded in the rhythms of the natural world
Our programs are run almost exclusively outdoors except when conditions (e.g. extreme cold temperatures or weather) make it unsafe to do so. We have a wall tent with a wood stove as our winter shelter.
