Out & About Forest and Nature School Inc.

Out & Abouts’ mission is to support self-autonomy in children through play, exploration, and inquiry.

We create programs that provide a nurturing environment where children and families feel a sense of community while fostering a deep connection with the land.

Programs 

Our Spaces

  • Foresters Falls

    Through hands-on experiences, skill-building, and guided exploration, children develop resilience, independence, and a strong connection with the land. Rooted in respect for nature and community, the program encourages leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving in a dynamic outdoor setting.

  • Petawawa

    Our programs in Petawawa cultivate a warm and inclusive community where children and families come together to learn, play, and connect with nature in an urban setting. We create spaces where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to explore their surroundings with curiosity and confidence. Through child-led experiences, collaborative activities, and meaningful relationships, we foster a sense of belonging while deepening connections with the land, each other, and the greater community.
