Rouge Valley Conservation Centre

 

Educational Programs

The Rouge Valley Conservation Centre offers a variety of educational programs for students of all ages. The programs are firmly based on the social and natural history of the Rouge Valley, and the mandate to preserve this heritage.

We offer a natural integration of geographical understanding, conservation awareness, hands-on involvement, expression through the arts, and laughter and fun.

Our committee has been running educational programs since 1996 to much acclaim from educators. Students, teachers and parents have participated in fun-filled activities that promote a better understanding of our wilderness, and of the great natural and cultural heritage preserved in the Rouge Valley.

Our Outdoor Environmental Programs include a guided hike to explore the wilderness, and is complemented with an interactive lesson and hands-on activities to provide a truly ‘Wild’ educational experience!

All programs below integrate the Science and Technology Life Systems curriculum links as according to the age/grade levels indicated. These include: Characteristics & Needs of Living Things, Growth & Changes in Plants & Animals, Habitats & Communities, Diversity of Living Things and Interactions Within Ecosystems.
