Saturday Sessions


ages 6 - 8

Shrews

Nose your way into the newest nature-immersion and mentorship program at Guelph Outdoor School.

Shrews has all the foundational elements of all GOS programs: mentorship, making friends, the thrill of adventure and discovery, tending and caring for plant and animals friends, crafts and outdoor competency, daydreaming, lots of silliness, and handing out by the fire with your peeps.


ages 7 - 11

Skunks

This Saturday program has a scent of it’s own!  Being the weekend, we turn the volume up on fun.  Skunks is about singing silly songs, being at the fire with buds, and getting out on the land for adventures.  

Skunks is a great option for young people who are not willing or able to take time out of school hours.  It is a half day afternoon session, allowing for a sleep in, or visit to the market before heading into the woods.

Skunks don’t take themselves too seriously, and this session is a great way to develop skills, make friends, and get on the adventure trail.


ages 12 - 15

Herons

Our first co-ed Saturday program for adolescents, tweens, and teens.

Herons is great way to get out of the house and get busy being yourself out in the woods. Just like our beloved youth, Herons are at once tall and gangly and awkward, but have a characteristic grace, power, and strange wisdom.
