Nature Camp: Brilliant Birds | Kids Out and About Toronto

Nature Camp: Brilliant Birds

It's Brilliant Birds week at our Nature Camp in North Etobicoke! Humber Arboretum day campers build confidence and embrace curiosity while they explore 100 hectares of natural areas without ever leaving the city. Programs are based out of the Centre for Urban Ecology, but campers spend most of their time outdoors making their own discoveries in the woodland, river, meadows, wetlands, gardens, and ponds of the Humber Arboretum. Active and engaging, Nature Camp is for kids aged 5 to 12.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Nature Camp Activities

So what will your camper do all day? Weekly activities include:

  • Nature wanders

  • Wildlife spotting
  • Pond discovery
  • Camp songs and games
  • Pizza lunch on Fridays 

But every week is made unique with the addition of theme-specific activities. This week is... 

Brilliant Birds

Swoop into the Arb for a full week of bird-brained* activities. Owl day long we'll be winging our way through the amazing world of feathers, flight, and phenomenal adaptations.

Join this flock and soon you'll be raven about avians with no egrets.**

*Because birds are very smart.

** We actually might see an egret.
