The Guelph Outdoor School

GOS is an absolutely amazing resource, not just for children but for adults!Each workshop, visit and experience has been amazing!The staff are so open minded and attentive. It’s truly a safe place to learn and gather

Our daughter had an incredible camp experience, she came home every day excited to share the new cool things she learned!! I can’t wait to send her back next year.

The Guelph Outdoor School is offering high quality outdoor immesion programs to all ages.

Great place , my 3 children keep asking to go back, very friendly and responsible staff, knowledgeable about nature and children, very happy to go every year.

Such an excellent experience for little ones! I take my daughter to Guelph Outdoor School and I love her getting three solid hours of outdoor time. Amazing friendly instructors. I have infinite respect for anyone who can entertain young kids outdoors in - 15 for three hours. Can't say enough good things.

An absolutely amazing group of people! A hands-on, nature-immersive approach to learning a variety of core life principles. I love that the program offers what a public school never can: a child- led exploration based method of learning new things, and developing relationships with people of all ages. It instills an appreciation and connection to the natural world around us.Children need to know where they fit in to this world, both with people of various ethnicities and backgrounds, but also the vast natural global environment. With the variety of instructors (ie: cultural backgrounds, upbringing, education, life experience) our children get exactly that. Its a diverse and very rich experience. It teaches children values and principles that will allow them to grow into caring, observant youths who realize that their decisions do matter. That they as small humans matter. Not too many programs can offer that.

The staff are great. The kids spend most of their time outside year round. The large grounds give them plenty to explore

Awesome school. My son goes 1 day a week and I can honestly say the impact is super positive. This offers what regular public school curriculum cannot, being in touch with nature, fresh air, innovative play amongst great kids and wonderful engaged staff. Highly recommended.

Nothing compares to nice open air fire, amomgst the trees, wilderness and fresh air with an N95 mask on my 8 year old. Reminds me of the old old days, like 1944. Enjoy!
