Nature Grandparenting with SaskOutdoors


Nature Grandparenting
As the grandma I enjoyed the one-on-one time with my grandson and being out in nature. My grandchild seemed to enjoy everything. He always looked forward to going and after it was over he would ask to go to the program.

This spring SaskOutdoors is offering a unique intergenerational nature program in Saskatoon. The Nature Grandparenting program is designed for grandparents to experience nature with their grandchild (3-5yrs old) in Saskatoon’s Gabriel Dumont Park. Many grandparents are in an ideal position to act as a nature mentor in the lives of their grandchildren. With practical ideas and age-appropriate activities shared each week, grandparents will have fun weaving a connection to nature into the special relationship they have with their grandchild. This program will be facilitated by Wildernook Fresh Air Learning. 

Participants will need to dress for the weather and should be comfortable being active outdoors for an hour.  Public washrooms are available on site for use. An information package will be sent out to  participants before program start-up.

Participants: Grandparent and grandchild (ages 3-5) pairs. Please e-mail Jana@wildernook.com if you have two grandchildren you would like to bring
