Do you love nature, science, and art?  Have you ever wanted to integrate them all into one?  Try making a nature journal!  On January 28th and 29th, the High Park Nature Centre is hosting two workshops that explore the what, how and why of nature journals. The Saturday seminar will cover making a journal for yourself, while the Sunday seminar will cover how to incorporate nature journals into the classroom. 

Check out the Facebook events here:

Is your young one’s birthday coming up? Looking for a different kind of party? One that will be as educational as it is fun? Or maybe you are looking for the kind of party that you don’t have to clean up after and has an environmentally low impact? The Nature Centre can offer you both! Our experienced staff will help make your child’s birthday party a memorable one with awesome themes inspired by the nature of High Park. Party goers can expect to create, learn, hike, and explore the park in a safe, supervised setting with the primary objective of fun! Then when it’s all over, we’ll clean the dishes!

We are now booking parties for November, December, and into the new year. If you are interested, please visit our our Birthday’s page for a full list of party options, themes and costs. If you have any questions or are interested in booking a party for your child, please feel free to give us a call or email Zak at zak@highpark.org
