Camps, Classes, Events and More

Immerse yourself in a world where we learn from the land and the skills of our ancestors. In small groups led by our multidisciplinary team of nature nerds, we work together to build, plant, harvest, study, observe, hike, play, and create. We explore bushcrafts and skills of the wild like fire making, animal tracking, shelter building, weaving, camp cooking, and so much more. We find and study bones, feathers, tracks, scat, and anything else the animals may have left behind. We learn about plants and which ones are safe to harvest, sharing bush tea, berries, and whatever is in season. At Nature Connections, we work together with friends, developing strength of character, community, and the skills for a great future.

Our base camp is located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  

Summer Camps 2020 - Cancelled due to Covid-19

After some well considered and hard discussions over the last months while closely monitoring the current situation, it is with heavy hearts that we have decided to cancel programs this year.

Wishing you and your family a healthy season of many quality moments and memorable experiences. Stay well, stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you on the other side.

Warmly,
-Britt & Ogui
