We’re celebrating our Rideau Eco-Literacy learning with a Canoe Adventure day!
This will be a full day of group games and education from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm on Thurs, August 29 at Rideau River Provincial Park. This is a free program for kids 6 – 12 years. Registration is required: https://rideauroundtable.ca/canoe_adventure_merrickville/
The day includes 3 “stations”: the canoe tour, building a campfire safely/cooking lunch, and an orienteering and map-reading workshop, along with many team-building games and citizen science activities.
Participants, both children and adults, must sign the waiver as part of registration to go in the canoes. Parents are welcome to join us.
Orienteering was a smash hit last year. This year’s locations will allow us a more diverse and natural environment to navigate. This workshop aims to empower and educate kids on how to cope and solve problems if they find themselves in such situations. It will cover navigation, map reading, and other fun skills.
The day runs from 9:30 am to 3:00.
*If the location where the Adventure is being held is hard for you to get your child to, please reach out to Tina. We will try and organize carpooling, leaving from the library. tina@rideauecoliteracy.com
