Tiffin Education for Families
We are all connected and rely on our environment. Children who come to Tiffin’s outdoor education programs get to move away from excess screen time, and build meaningful connections with the natural world.
Let Tiffin’s educators help your children develop a sense of wonder, appreciation and respect for the natural world. Let’s discover, share and explore!
Tiffin Conservation Area is the centre of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority’s environmental education programs. Located 15 minutes outside of Angus, Barrie and Innisfil, there are programs for children in preschool all the way to high school. Programs are offered all year round and there is something for everyone!
Children spend their day exploring our forests, ponds, meadows at the 300-acre Tiffin Centre for Conservation. Every day will be guided by curiosity, seasonal changes, and weather and program availability.
Camp Tiffin’s Junior Leadership Program is a two-week camp for 13-15-year-olds, which builds valuable leadership skills and provides hands-on practical experiences. Together, the 2 weeks earns them a Junior Leadership certificate.
Adopted from our traditional summer camp program, this special edition of Camp Tiffin encourages outdoor exploration, guided excursions in the forest fueled by student interest.
Geared towards children aged 2.5 – 10 years old, this program focuses on child-led, open-ended and play based learning. Children learn about risky play, and develop a better understanding of their relationship with the land.
Join us this March Break to explore nature on snowshoes, discover the signs of wildlife in the winter, making walking, play a game of Amazing Race, make walking sticks and so much more!
