Adventure is calling—will they answer?
Our youth group is launching this fall, and it's packed with new challenges, deeper discovery, and skill-building fun in our 160-acre prairie oasis. This is the perfect fit for homeschooling families or for families who want to enrich traditional school year.
🎒 What will youth explore?
🌿 Nature journaling & art in the wild
🔥 Cooking over the fire
🛶 Raft building and testing designs
🧭 Discovering hidden corners of our land
🛠️ Learning new skills like knot tying, tool use & map reading
✨ Creating with natural materials
This is more than just a day outside—it's a chance to build confidence, deepen friendships, and connect with nature in powerful ways. With guidance from two experienced and passionate outdoor educators, the possibilities are endless.
💬 “We don’t just play in nature—we learn, build, discover, and grow in it.”
🌟 We aim to create a diverse, inclusive group and welcome both returning and new families to join the journey!
📍 Limited spaces available at 6 Bergheim Road

Where are we located?
We have a true private prairie oasis on 160 acres. You enter through the trees and follow a winding path into the bluff of poplar trees to the clearing where our campfire is located. Our location has many other enchanted spots such the hidden hollows, the willows, a mud pit, and lots of open rolling hills of natural prairie grasslands. We provide the props and initial inspiration, and the children use their imaginations and creativity to create experiences they will never forget.
HOW CAN IT BE 100% OUTDOORS?
Our aim is to be outside for the full day, our goal is 100% outdoors, but I am AWARE that we live in Saskatchewan so I am flexible and reasonable. In saying that I do believe “there is no such thing as bad weather only poor clothing selections” so children will need to come dressed for the weather. We will go inside to warm up, dry off and gather as the children need to. Being outside in all kinds of weather builds resiliency and grit but I know we live in Saskatchewan so during the cold months more time will be spent inside with shorter times outside. The shelter will allow them to connect with nature inside during those cold days.
We will STAY INSIDE for:
-
Temperature is colder than -25
-
Winds speed higher than 35 kph
-
Electrical storm
-
Heavy rain
We follows safety procedures to ensure a successful outdoor experience: Risk assessment/Safety and Health procedures/Emergency procedures
ALL programs are canceled when the buses are not running or at -45.
