The Guelph Outdoor School

Transformative full nature immersion and mentorship programs for a generation of kids who are compassionate, resilient, service-oriented, and joyful.

  Important information

Welcome to O&A Parent and Tot @ Guelph Outdoor School

This unique program is as much for parents as it is for kids - providing a rich weekly outdoor gathering during the early, isolating years of taking care of children. Oaks and Acorns helps families get nature connected from the get-go, connects families, and builds community. This unique program lays the foundation for a generation of nature connected kids: this means young people who are resilient and comfortable in the natural world for life.

With morning programs on Monday, Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays -- Oaks and Acorns, like all GOS programs, is available on a sliding scale basis. We offer 2 ways to participate, to suit your family’s needs:

Option 1) Seasonal Registration

This means registering for a whole season: (e.g. Fall, Winter and/or Spring) This ensures your spot every week on the day of your choice, and is great for families who know they will come out more often than not - no need to grab a "drop-in" spot each week, and the session fee is lower. It also helps us staff and plan our programs effectively. Recommended!
 

Option 2) Drop-In Registration

This is for families who are not ready to commit to a whole season, or who need more flexibility in their week. Perfect for families who want to be a part of the Oaks & Acorns community, but anticipate coming only from time to time. Space permitting, this option enables you to sign up for any day of the week, starting one week before the activity date, right up to the moment we gather.

We hope this option will enable more families to get a taste of this community favourite at least occasionally. (No more two-year waitlists!!) . Drop-In registration opens one week ahead of each session date, and may be cancelled up to 2 hours ahead of the program start time.

OUR SLIDING SCALE

We know that every family’s circumstances are unique and complex, if you require sliding scale, you can access our user-end discount codes here.
