Our Nature Clubs will explore the natural wonders of nature while learning about the amazing plants and animals that live here in Toronto. Participants learn about the ecology of High Park through play, inquiry, direct experience and observation.
We will be offering two six-week club sessions this spring.
We want everyone to have an opportunity to explore nature with us! If cost is prohibitive to you, please check out our Happy Camper Fund Bursary.

Our Happy Camper Fund Bursary has been extended to include Nature Clubs! If you are in need of financial aid to attend our programs, please apply here.
Please note you will need to register for a club first before we look at your bursary application.
For all programs, children MUST be of the minimum age of the program on or before the start of the program.
Our Nature Clubs are for registered participants who are within that club’s age range only. For our caregiver-accompanied early years programs, we allow “babes-in-arms” (babies who will be carried) to be brought to the program with their caregiver.
*Please note that if Toronto is in the grey lockdown framework, we will not be able to accommodate babes-in-arms during our programs as babies would put us over the limit of 10 people who can gather outdoors.
If you need more information on our sibling policy, please do not hesitate to contact us at 416-392-1748 or info@highparknaturecentre.com.
Please note, High Park is closed to cars on the weekends. If your program is on a weekend, you will need to park outside the park and walk in, or take transit (we are just south of High Park subway).
Please ensure you’ve read and understood our registration policies:
