Nature (Grand)parenting: Share your Autumn


Witness seasonal changes in nature with your grandchild, niece or nephew this fall. 

Nature Grandparenting Saskatoon

Note: We are only running the program at the 10:00 a.m. time this fall. Thx!

The Nature (Grand)parenting program is designed for caregivers to build a special nature connection with their ~ 3-5 year old grandchild, niece or nephew.  Some members of children’s extended family and community are in an ideal position to act as a nature mentor. This program is an invitation to come on out and play together on a regular basis. With practical ideas and age-appropriate activities shared each week, nature mentors will have fun weaving a connection to nature into their relationship with the little adventurer in their life.

Participants will need to dress for the weather and should be comfortable being active outdoors for an hour.  Public washrooms are available at most sites for use. An information package will be sent out to  participants before program start-up.

Participants: (Grand)parent and child (ages 3-5) pairs. Group size will be capped at 8 pairs for a safe and quality experience. 

Location: Rotating naturalized parks in Saskatoon (e.g. Meewasin Park, Gabriel Dumont Park, etc.)

Dates:Thursday September 16th - November 4th (8 sessions)

Times: Morning program is 10 a.m. - 11a.m

Cost: $160.00 per pair ($20.00/session x 8 sessions).

An information package will be sent out to registered participants the week before program start-up.

Our Covid-19 Response Includes:

- We are following Saskatoon Public Schools and Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools Covid-19 safety protocols. At this time wearing masks outdoors during our programs is a family decision, which we will support.

· Please wash hands before and after program and eating snacks.

We look forward to sharing autumn with you and you!
