Wilderness Adventure Camp - Kanata Montessori

Big outdoor discoveries for younger adventurers.

Your child doesn’t have to travel far to experience the excitement of wilderness adventure. At Kanata Montessori, campers ages 5½–13 learn practical outdoor skills, explore nature and enjoy a swim every week—all close to home in Kanata.

With trained, caring counsellors guiding each activity, campers practise building fires and shelters, finding their way through orienteering, and learning rescue techniques and outdoor food preparation. Wilderness first aid introduces them to treating small injuries and knowing what to do when someone needs help. They’ll even tie their own fishing flies—a skill they can take home.

Nature crafts add creativity to the adventure, with activities such as making stick bird feeders, nature tapestries and sundials. Wildlife education and discovering patterns in nature encourage campers to take a closer look at the world around them.

Campers are grouped by age, giving younger and older adventurers opportunities to learn alongside their peers. Each day offers chances to try something new, build confidence and feel proud of what they can do.
