A MONTREAL SCHOOL FOR ALL (AMSFA)
We are a service provider in partnership with AMSFA. If you teach at a school eligible for funding through the program, take a look at our program descriptions in the Jeune public catalogue.
Our School Programs
From schoolyards to city parks, local farms to wilderness adventures, our programs offer a variety of ways to bring students closer to nature.
Explore the options below to find the experience that best suits your school's needs.
We guide half- or full-day excursions in your schoolyard, in public parks close to you (such as Parc Angrignon and Mont-Royal), or at our partner sites in Kahnawake and Senneville.
These days are built around your goals, combined with our passion and expertise in:
-
Wilderness survival skills
-
Wildlife tracking
-
Ecology and species identification
-
Plant use (crafts, edible, and medicinal)
-
Bird observation and bird language
-
Orientation and navigation
-
Games, songs, art and crafts

Experience the magic of wild spaces
-
Disconnect from technology and reconnect with self and community
Options include:

Camping in tents and cooking over the fire at our wilderness site in Papineauville, QC

Deep and lasting nature connection is built through consistency and seasonal rhythm. Our ideal model is to partner with groups over time, meeting regularly to foster stronger relationships, support student growth, and explore the full range of our programming across the seasons.
Series partnerships can take different forms, depending on your goals:
-
Whole-school approach: Work with multiple grades to help cultivate a shared culture of nature connection across the school
-
Single-class focus: Meet regularly with one class to deepen learning and build connections around a core subject
-
Progression-based series: Build skills and relationships over time in preparation for a culminating wilderness trip or field experience
