This PD Day is about thriving outside.

Kids might make a little forest home from foraged materials, or we may track a rabbit or a beaver and see how our animal neighbours make their homes. Participants can make and tend fires, while others may find a nice little sit spot by the river to watch the mink catch crayfish. Some kids might design a contraption for their shelter, others might prepare some kindling for the fireplace, or some art for the front door. This PD program invites kids into the simple work of tending homes and each other :)

Session price: $87.50. If cost is a barrier, please see our Economics for a Changing World page for sliding-scale options.

ShelterBuilder is an open ended day with support from GOS instructors who help to set the mood, hatch plans, share in the successes and failures, help with any conflict, keep us all safe, and share stories at the end of the day. It's open to participants aged 4-14, with groups divided by age and stage. See you out there.
