Youth Roots After School Program

Taking place on Tuesdays from 4:00-6:00pm, Youth Roots will host students at Sasamat Outdoor Centre one day per week for ten weeks in the Spring. Shaking things up after school with some physical activity, Youth Roots will offer participants a chance to go canoeing, jump in the lake, or climb the rock wall, amongst other activities. Participants will be placed in groups of 7-8 children of similar age, and have an instructor who will lead them through ten weeks of exciting programming. Youth Roots instructors will use the outdoor programming as means to build personal skillsets in areas such as communication, teamwork, and confidence. Similarly, the programming will build environmental stewardship, as participants will be introduced to activities that aim to enrich outdoor skills and nature knowledge. Younger students will focus on play and outdoor exploration, while older students will be challenged with learning outdoors and wilderness skills, as well as local wildlife and ecology. After a day in the classroom, this after school program is the perfect outlet to finish the day in great spirits!
