🌱 March Break Nature Sessions for Kids (Ages 8–12)
Small-group, outdoor-led experiences rooted in curiosity, calm, and connection
Kinwood Echoes Nature Camp is a primarily outdoor, nature-led program designed to help children slow down, explore, and reconnect — with nature, with themselves, and with one another.
This is not a high-intensity camp.
It is not performance-based.
It is not designed to rush children from activity to activity.
It is a slower, sensory-aware, relationship-centered experience guided with care.
Now Accepting Registrations
Dates: March 16–20, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Half-Day Only)
Location: Meadowvale Community (Meeting point: near Meadowvale Community Centre – Splash Pad area)
Group Size: Intentionally small (maximum 5–6 children)
This session is intentionally offered as a half-day outdoor program to ensure depth of experience, comfort in changing March weather, and thoughtful group pacing.
Indoor time may be incorporated briefly for warmth or rest depending on room availability; however, the camp remains primarily outdoor-led.
Appropriate washroom access is a non-negotiable care requirement and is confirmed prior to program start.
💰 Camp Fee
5-Day Half-Day Camp (10:00 AM – 1:00 PM): $425 per child
Limited single-day spots may be offered only if space allows.
Priority is given to full-week registrations to support group cohesion and rhythm.

No prior outdoor experience is required.
🌿 Safety, Supervision & Care
The camp is guided by Veena P. Sivan —
Certified Forest Therapy Guide, Wilderness First Aid trained, STEM workshop presenter, and experienced classroom facilitator (managing groups of up to 28–30 students in school settings).
As a parent herself, Veena understands children’s energy levels, group dynamics, and the importance of structure balanced with flexibility.
Clear expectations are set at the beginning of each day.
Group rhythm is calm, consistent, and intentionally held.
While careful planning and safety awareness guide every session, outdoor environments are dynamic. Unexpected situations can occur and are handled with grounded judgment and training.
