Boreal Forest Program

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share that we won’t be running programming this year. I’m really sorry for any inconvenience this might cause. I’ve made the decision to spend time with family in Prince Edward Island.

I know how important it is to find great care and experiences for your kids during the summer, and I hope you’re able to find a camp that’s a great fit.

I truly appreciate your support over the years, and while we won’t be operating this Summer, I’m hopeful we’ll be back in action for Summer of 2026.

In the meantime, keep exploring the outdoors and enjoying time together. Wishing you all a safe, sunny, and adventure-filled summer!

Warmly,

Kate and crew

Boreal Forest Program acknowledges that the location of our program is on Chief Drygeese Territory in the Akaitcho Region, the traditionary territory of the Yellowknifes Dene First Nation.

Boreal Forest Program (BFP) provides our community with a high quality nature immersion program for learners, aged 5-12, throughout the summer months. Our mission at BFP is to inspire children to connect with nature through repeated exposure to the same natural space. It encourages creativity and resilience, while promoting a learner’s connection with themselves and each other. This program is a safe space for kids to be kids; to dive deep into play at their own level and pace, ask questions, engage with natural materials and have the freedom to get a little dirty.

“Wild landscapes are especially good for children because their senses are engaged on every level. When children need to run, jump and climb, the best challenge is the landscape full of grasses, rocks and fallen trees. For quieter moments, turning over a rock reveals a miniature ecosystem diverse and alive. No toy, technology, or indoor environment can rival the unpredictability of nature.”

At Boreal Forest Program, we want to contribute to a happy and healthy community, so it is our goal to make sure everyone feels not only included, but PROUD of who they are, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
