Outdoor Education in the City!
10 April 2016 - by YMCA of Greater Toronto
This spring and fall YMCA staff will be bringing outdoor education programs to Toronto Island.
Our Toronto Island location, at the YMCA’s summer day camp, offers an oasis for outdoor education, just a short ferry ride from the city. Day field trips are available during the months of June and September, for any group of 10 or more participants. Whether it’s team building initiatives, archery or canoeing, our activities build a sense of community amongst the group, foster personal growth, and deepen an appreciation for the natural environment.
Learn and Grow Outside the Classroom
Leaving the classroom behind and getting outdoors allows students to learn, strengthen bonds and provides an experience sure to be a highlight of their school year. YMCA staff work closely with you to tailor the schedule, activities and objectives of the program to your students' needs.
Available activities include:
Programs are facilitated by experienced staff who hold the proper qualifications and are trained in safely delivering activities. All staff have a minimum certification of Standard First Aid and are equipped with first aid kits.
Dates are available in June and September! To book a school field trip for your students or a day trip for a youth group, visit our Outdoor Education webpage or contact our Sales Coordinator, Jeremy Koo, at jeremy.koo@ymcagta.org or (905) 859-9622 ext. 225.
