COVID-19 Alert

The GRCA continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation in Ontario. The health, safety and well-being of our staff, volunteers and the community remain our highest priority. Please visit our COVID-19 Update page where you will find the most up-to-date information on impacts to GRCA programs and services.

 

Are you looking for activities that are fun, active and skill building for your group, organization or team? Do you want to get them outside and connected with the natural environment? Bring them to a Nature Centre.

We have a range of activities to choose from including snowshoe hikes, owl prowls, stream explorations, scavenger hunts, outdoor navigation challenges and survival skills programs. We have team building and outdoor skill building activities for all ages. With a three hour program your group can enjoy an outdoor campfire as a wrap up. Our environmental program guides will provide your group with an engaging and fun outdoor experience.
