Into the Wild
Into the Wild
The Into The Wild curriculum is driven by your child’s curiosity and interests. The program will build safe connections to our mountainous backyard. Opportunities to discover and grow are plentiful as your child becomes immersed in sensory-based experiences, stories, crafts, songs, tinkering, building and imaginative play. Students from Grades K – 4 meet their leader at the Banff Elementary School and walk together to the Banff Recreation Grounds and the cozy Rundle Cabin. Activities include outdoor games, guest presenters, snacks, and campfires. At the end of the program caregivers pick-up from Rundle Cabin.
