Outdoor Learning Conference 2025

"Rediscover your child-like passion for the world and join us for a fun morning of exploring nature and building connections. In this experiential session, Dave will share some of the core elements of Forest Play – a popular program that has been running in Canmore since 2011. You’ll have the opportunity to:

Fuel your enthusiasm for nature connection programs
Play, laugh, share stories, activities and songs you can use with your groups
experience what it is like to participate in a program based on the Coyote mentoring model
be introduced to the natural learning cycle and essential routines that ground and reconnect us with the natural world

Come prepared for playing outdoors (dress in layers and for the weather - there will be periods of physical activity and moments of less activity) and having some fun adventures in the forest near the Banff Centre!"
