This is our Fox Program! Here we support children as they grow in independence and confidence outdoors.
Arctic Foxes invites young children to build confidence in their choices and abilities in the winter months, and every season afterwards! Through play, exploration, and shared experiences, children build self-awareness and assessment being outdoors in all kinds of winter weather.
Each week offers simple, hands-on ways to enjoy the season. From learning basic winter skills to playing, creating, and connecting in nature. This program is perfect for children new to winter play as well as those eager to deepen their outdoor experiences.
