Community Nature Nights: Wilderness Skills Camp

Community Nature Nights are free, open invitation wilderness skills camp workshops intended to inspire curiosity, learning, and connection.

Each month, Oct – Jun, experienced mentors create a space for community members to grow their naturalist knowledge, tackle new outdoor skills, and explore mentoring techniques that support nature connection. Workshops vary in theme and location (in-person and online) to create opportunities for more people to engage in nature connection.

Wilderness skills camp workshops are geared towards adults; however, all ages who feel able to respectfully engage with a given theme are welcome (those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). Join us to learn, laugh, and build connections with our human and more-than-human community!

Each workshop’s topic differs based on the mentor leading the experience. Past Nature Night topics in Toronto have included:

• Nature connection and mentoring philosophy
• Carving / wood whittling
• Storytelling
• Friction fire
• Nature Journaling
• Singing
• Tree ID
• Basket weaving
• Tracking
• Herbalism
