Outdoor Excursions - TimberNook Saskatoon

Program Details:

Looking for a professional development day for your daycare or school staff? Need a preschool or parent group activity or educational event? TimberNook Saskatoon has the solution for you!

Your professional development session will start with a presentation on: Inspire Outdoor Play and What is TimberNook? The adults will then have the opportunity to participate in a play experience. They will have a grand play experience including loose parts play, investigating evidence of play, a craft, a slide show and cooking over the fire (weather permitting). There will be lots of time to ask questions, tour the TimberNook location and connect with others!

This is a 100% outdoor professional development at TimberNook Saskatoon. Our location is 15 min east of Saskatoon on Bergheim Road. We can host large groups. Confirmation of number of attendees is requested 1 week prior to the PD to ensure sufficient supplies for the event.

Example of session structure:

Welcome 15 min
Presentation of TimberNook 1 hour
Play experience for the teachers 1 hour
Summary of experience and dismissal 15 min

Each session includes a handout along with a completed craft to inspire outplay in their own backyard or schoolyard. Campfire food for cooking is supplied.

We look forward to hosting your professional development at TimberNook Saskatoon.
