Embark on a summer of discovery and growth with Natural Pathways Learning Centre's immersive camps, designed for children aged 6-14. Running from 9 AM to 3 PM, our programs offer unique experiences at two distinct locations:
 
Forest School Adventure in Harrow: 1431 Gore Rd, Harrow
Nestled in the heart of a private 50-acre old-growth forest, our Harrow location invites campers to explore and connect with nature. Guided by experienced, certified Forest school educators, children will:
Engage in child-led, inquiry-driven exploration
Develop resilience and confidence through hands-on activities
Foster a deep connection with the natural world
Activities include orienteering, foraging, knot tying, shelter building, tracking, plant identification, fire building and safety, hiking, pond dipping, free play and more. Our program emphasizes play and discovery, nurturing each child's unique relationship with nature.
 
Farm School Experience at Our Farm Organics: 284E County rd 34 Ruthven
At Our Farm Organics, campers immerse themselves in sustainable farming practices, learning where their food comes from and the importance of environmental stewardship. Highlights include:
Animal care
Crop cultivation
Soil health education
Hands-on activities like cooking and harvesting. 
This program fosters environmental literacy and a sense of responsibility towards our planet.
 
Both camps prioritize building resilience, fostering community, and ensuring campers have fun while connecting deeply with nature. Our hands-on, outdoor programming is designed to inspire curiosity and a lifelong love for the environment.
 
Spaces are limited, so secure your child's spot today for a summer filled with adventure, learning, and lasting memories!
 
We require 10 participants to run each camp week.

Who is this for?
Youth who need a break — even if they don’t ask for one.
Those who are curious, anxious, creative, overwhelmed, or just need something different. Whether they love the outdoors or aren’t sure yet, this is a space to slow down, breathe, and just be.
Together, we’ll find moments of quiet, creativity, and connection — and maybe get a little muddy while we’re at it.
 
No experience needed — just a willingness to show up and explore.
Bonus: It’s not just good for them — it’s something they’ll actually enjoy.

Forget screens — this day is for hands-on, real-life skills and unforgettable outdoor fun.
Perfect for youth who might not see themselves as “outdoorsy” (yet), this program is all about discovery, confidence, and having a blast while learning something new.
 
Real-Life XP (Experience Points) for Real-World Adventure
In a world of screen time and swipe culture, Camp XP is an immersive one-day outdoor experience designed to help youth unplug, reconnect with nature, and build real-life skills. Think survival camp—but make it fun, social, and confidence-boosting.
 
What might your XP look like?
Depending on the group's interests and XP level, activities may include:
Cooking in the earth or over fire
Shelter building and knot tying
Natural navigation using maps and compasses
Beginner woodworking or forest pottery
Nature-based games and stealth movement
Creative group challenges and “missions” that build adaptability, teamwork, and confidence
 
We co-create the experience based on the energy and interests of the group, so every camp is a little different, and every participant helps shape the adventure.
 
Why Camp XP?
Camp XP is designed for youth who may be curious but hesitant about outdoor programs—those teetering on the edge of adventure, yet still unsure about bugs, mud, or the lack of Wi-Fi. It's all about meeting them where they're at, and helping them build resilience, confidence, and social connection along the way.
 
We believe nature builds the best kind of strength—the kind you don’t even know you’re learning until it shows up when you need it.
