Run Wild After School
We know kids are bursting with pent-up energy after a full day of school. That’s why we make each week a fast-paced adventure in nature at the Run Wild After School program in Toronto! We play games that leave us breathless and giggling, wander through the forest to discover hidden mysteries, and learn new skills like fire-building. By ‘running wild’ and choosing their own adventures, participants form lasting friendships, build physical health, and connect with nature.

Registration for Outdoor School 2025/2026 is still open! Please reach out to our office at info@pineproject.org to inquire about availability for this year’s programming with a pro-rated price.
The Run Wild After School program in Toronto is geared toward children between the ages of 6 and 13. In it, they’ll experience:
- Games and adventures
- Teamwork exercises
- Learning new skills such as friction by fire, carving, and wildlife tracking
Pine is one of the best after school programs I have found to offer a counter balance to our overstimulated digital lives. Having free play time with unstructured supervision is the closest thing I have come across to recreate the freedom from my own childhood in the pre-digital era.
