My children have been a part of the Nature Kids programs for many years. From the afterschool program to the fall early years program and summer day camps, it’s always a place where they're excited to go, rain or shine, it's guaranteed fun! They really love the attention Heather gives them as they craft, connect and explore the trails of Botanical Gardens during the school year. In the summer, Heather and her staff are so friendly and eager for adventure, with lots of new activities that entertain the kids all day long. It’s an incredible program for all ages, to be outside and learning with such an energetic group of teachers, it’s what makes this program one of a kind. It allows the kids to build relationships with nature and be inspired by what surrounds them. I recommend any of the Nature Kids programs, as your kids will enjoy exploring and learning with Heather and her staff during any season in Tofino.Lindsay Whitefield Kids ages 6,5,3

Tofino Nature Kids is a special program that we have been so lucky to have our daughter as a 3 and 4 year old take part in. Heather has been a kind, wonderful instructor inspiring play in a wild but very safe environment. Our daughter specifically loves playing on trees when asked what her favourite thing is and playing with friends. She loves Tofino Nature Kids and we are so fortunate to have this amazing setting for safe learning and play on the west coast. Samantha Hackett

My kid has been going to Nature Kids since a week after he turned three. We love the experiential focus and toy-free outside time that encourages creativity, cooperation and sense of adventure. The staff are passionate about both our local environment as well as cultivating meaningful play time for kids, the perfect combo! We have had nothing but excellent experiences with Nature Kids- both at the Summer Beach Program and the Botanical Garden Program. Thanks Nature Kids!Tofino Mom & Happy Adventurer

My 4 year old daughter has been in the Nature kids program for almost a year. When we were planning a move to Tofino I was so excited that she would get the opportunity to be part of this program. Nature Kids has not disappointed us! After just one week Lisa's confidence about being outdoors, and willingness to explore trails and beaches was amazing. She now educates us about the plants and animals around us. The program is well run, with teachers who are excited about the possibility of sharing our beautiful world with our kids. They truly take advantage of all of the opportunities for learning that are right in front of them!Kim Evans, Parent

Our children have been enjoying days with Tofino Nature Kids since its inception. They never want to leave at pick-up time and I'm positive that this time spent outside with resourceful, trustworthy and knowledgeable adult leaders has in turn bolstered their self-confidence.Sam Fyleris, Parent (5 and 7 year old girls)
