COVID-19 Alert
All GRCA nature centres are currently closed to the public. Most of our public outdoor environmental community programs (including day camps, birthday parties, youth programs, Scout and Guide badge programs) remain suspended, and events have been cancelled. When new information is available, this page will be updated. Please subscribe to this page for program updates.
School programming is currently underway with limited school boards. It is being offered in a modified and/or virtual setting.
For more information about the impact of COVID-19 to GRCA programs and services, please refer our COVID-19 FAQ.
In the interim, our nature centre staff have put together a fantastic list of activities for those who are missing our in-person program offerings.
The Rockwood Nature Centre, east of Guelph, offers a variety of programs geared to schools as well as families, youth and community groups.
Our unique, hands-on programs teach environmental concepts and foster an appreciation of the natural world.
The Rockwood Nature Centre is located in Rockwood Conservation Area. It is one of the GRCA's oldest and most scenic parks. Its unique geology, which includes caves and glacial potholes, makes it ideal for special programs such as caving and geology. It's also a popular spot for canoeing. Walking trails circle around the park offering many scenic views.
Programs at Rockwood are offered from May 1 - October 15.
