Week-long summer programs run through July and August, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. at the Wesley Clover Parks Campground. Families are invited to register for up to two weeks of child-led play and learning in the shade of the canopy. Registration for summer programs takes place in early March.
C) Drop-In
OFNS offers open drop-ins and four-week registered sessions where families join an educator to hike out on the land, play, and gather for the story. Inquire for registration dates.
