Adventure
Program Registration
Let your child unwind and reconnect with nature after school! Our After-School Adventure Program is open to children aged 4–12 attending schools in Dartmouth, Cole Harbour, Lawrencetown, and surrounding communities.
We offer a flexible mix of forest play and cozy indoor time, depending on weather and your child's needs. From fort-building to creative art with foraged materials, our program helps children grow confidence, build skills, and have fun — naturally.
