Awaken your true Nature
WILDERNESS SCHOOL & COUNSELLING SERVICES
What if getting to know the rivers, the plants, the birds and the animals could help us find our place again?
Wilderness School for Youth
Our Wilderness School programs offer powerful nature-based education experiences for youth aged 5-17. Youth are able to access their full aliveness when they are in healthy connection to the natural world around them, their community and themselves. We mentor in nature connection because it works. We witness profound shifts in children’s ability to access their full aliveness, thrive in their unique gifts and build a strong foundation for personal growth year-after-year in our youth programs. Explore our selection of programs for youth ages 5-18 below.
Wilderness School for Adults
We believe that our core identity and deepest belonging comes from actively fostering a web of connections with nature, self and community. This web is the foundation for an eco-centric culture – a way of being in the world that centres around ecological interdependence and reciprocity.
Now more than ever, our world needs mature, initiated, eco-centric adults who have come into their gifts. These adults will be the creative drivers to shift us from ego-centric culture towards eco-centric culture for the future generations.
Our adults programs offer an opportunity to rediscover what it means to be fully human in this animate world. Join a community of like-minded people and start your journey to deepen your connection to nature and bring your unique gifts to the world.
Summer Camps for Youth
Our week long Summer Camps offer nature adventure experiences for youth aged 5-17. Our unique place-based mentoring model encourages participants to develop relationship to the natural world all around them, while playing forest games, learning wilderness skills and making new friends. These memories will truly last a lifetime and we can’t wait for you to join us!
We offer a range of camps throughout July + August with a variety of wilderness themes, as well as overnight teen experiences. Explore our selection of Summer Camps below.
Thriving Roots Counselling Services provide a unique approach to professional therapy that integrates nature-based practices to support individuals and families. A deep connection to nature can be a powerful source of healing, and we offer clients of all ages the opportunity to explore their inner landscape in the context of the natural world. Our registered counsellors draw from evidence-based practices such as ecotherapy, mindfulness, and somatic experiencing to provide support in a therapeutic environment.
Whether you're looking for a therapeutic alternative to office-based services or seeking to deepen your connection with nature, our services offer a safe and supportive space to explore your unique journey. Join us to discover what it means to be fully human and to connect with the natural world in a meaningful way.
