Upper Thames River Conservation Authority in collaboration with the Stratford Perth Museum will be hosting a P.A. Day Nature School Camp on January 30, 2026. This Camp will feature snowshoeing, forest games, fossil ID, campfire cooking, bannock-making, discovering trains, and more!
Participants should be prepared for the weather and to get a little messy while exploring and playing outside. We will have access to an indoor space as well as the beautiful forest and meadow trails behind the museum. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather! Subject to weather, alternative active options will be available and indoor space will be used.
Questions and comments can be directed to Caroline Biel – Community Education Specialist
