  • We offer flexible payment instalments depending on when you are registering your child.

    Please click on the dropdown next to the amount in order to see the options available to you.

  • Our guides are trained in first aid and group safety, and we keep a low child-to-guide ratio to ensure close attention and care.

    We also do a site assessment to identify any safety hazards.

  • Our meeting point is at Jeanne-Mance park and from there we venture into the forest.

  • Our motto is there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

    We embrace the elements, but if conditions turn extreme, we have backup plans to keep the experience meaningful and safe.

  • My 5 year old had a wonderful experience at child in the wild day camp for two weeks. Adults were responsible and caring, left her tons of opportunity for exploration and free play in a safe environment. She came home everyday talking about trees, birds, and feeling proud of all she’d been able to do (half day hikes and forest exploration of all kinds). She will be back! Thank you so much to Trinati and the entire team! ❤️

  • This is the second summer our daughter has gone to Child in the Wild Summer Camp. After her very first day, she said this is the only camp she would attend because she feels so much freedom to explore her loving relationship with Mother Earth. Thank you to Trinati and the team, for facilitating these powerful experiences of connection that are so important to mind, body and spirit health.

  • Our experience with Child in the Wild Nature Day Camp has been nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment our child was welcomed into the camp, we knew we had made the right choice. The staff's warmth and dedication are evident in every aspect of the program.
