Outdoor Education

Pinery has outdoor education programs for your school, homeschool, or community group!

Pinery Provincial Park offers a variety of free* programs about nature and the local ecosystems. We offer programs for everyone: curriculum-based school programs, guide and scout groups, naturalist clubs, and retirement centers!

In Park Programs

We feel that the best way to experience Pinery is within it, and we offer many in-park programs and field trips to guide your group through the Park. Check out the link below to the list of available programs for more information.

School Yard Programs

If your group is located nearby and can’t make it to Pinery, we can come to you** if you have an outdoor space available.

Virtual Programs

We offer virtual programs for everyone with an interest in Pinery’s natural features.

Check out our program information and outlines below to get started. Choose the right fit for you, then contact a Park Naturalist to book your Outdoor Education program at
