This nature-based program is positioned in beautiful Golden, BC, where two rivers intersect, and the children are protected by the majestic Rockies, Selkirk, and Purcell mountain ranges. The Columbia Wetlands provide the children the opportunity to develop a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world. All of their senses are used to explore nature by being in relationship with, connecting to, and respecting the natural world.
