The Forest Friends program is a fun and exciting way for children to spend their summer! Each week, we offer an outdoor adventure filled with imaginative play, circle time, storytelling, art, and a daily hike to a magical forest play space. At Out to Play, we follow the Forest and Nature School approach, which means every day is about curiosity, exploration, and learning through play. Our amazing educators are there to play alongside the children, guiding them, supporting their learning, and helping them build friendships while staying safe and kind together. Because our approach is emergent, each day feels fresh and exciting, responding to the interests of the children. The program runs from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at either the Out to Play Centre or the Nest, both located at 230 Davidson’s Side Road. Once you register, you'll receive a warm Welcome Letter with all the details you need, including parking instructions, packing tips, and a chance to meet the Out to Play team. We can’t wait to have your child join us for a summer full of exploration, fun, and learning in nature! *Optional Aftercare* 3-4pm $60/week (limited spaces available) -- to add, please select tuition option with aftercare included.

We absolutely love Out to Play! Our daughter has grown in leaps and bounds in terms of her confidence, awareness and comfort in nature. I can barely keep her in the house now, she only wants to be outside and she is so creative and imaginative in her play. When we take her to playgrounds, she is looking for sticks and trees and animals. She is much more confidant in her interactions with others and her development overall has skyrocketed since we started. She (and we) adore all of the knowledgable, kind and intelligent instructors who provide such a comfortable, safe and stimulating environment. After every session, they give detailed feedback on the day and always relate beautiful stories that arise. I couldn’t be more pleased with our choice in Out to Play, and plan to keep our girls in their programming as long and as often as possible.
