Looking for something to give the child that has everything? Consider giving the gift of nature to your child, grandchild, niece, nephew or friend. Children have so many things that keep them indoors like video games, computers and toys. Why not give them the gift of nature and register them in one of our Wildlife Explorers weekend nature programs where they can (re-)connect with nature. See above for a list of programs.

Contact us at education@rvcc.ca or 416-282-8265 to purchase a Gift Certificate or to register your child.
