Wildernook Summer Camps are wrapped up for 2024! We had 9 weeks of camp; 1 PunchBuggy Camp, 2 Nature Creatives, 2 Outdoor Skills Camps, and 5 weeks of Summatime Playventures camps. Overall, 175 kids attended our summer camps in 2024.
Our day camps are brim-full with enthusiastic campers and adventures they bring home with them. Thanks so much for your support of our little locally owned & women-led biz, the Wildernook team.

Who’s ready for an outdoor adventure?
We are looking for new owners and operators to continue and build on Wildernook's vibrant outdoor and nature programming foundation. Please contact claire@wildernook.com to discuss.
This is a play hard, get dirty, nature immersion camp led by experienced outdoor educators in Saskatoon’s Naturalized Parks (e.g. Meewasin Park, Forestry Farm, Gabriel Dumont Park, etc.)
We will be mobile within the park discovering seasonal changes, burning energy and developing social and leadership skills alongside outdoor-loving peers. We welcome curiosity, enthusiasm, and playfulness and coach participants to resolve age appropriate problems as they arise.
Notes:
Day Camps at Meewasin plan to use scooters (non-motorized, provided) for one day of camp (no previous experience required and walking is an option for kids who aren’t keen to scooter).
Day Camps at the Forestry Farm plan to include an animal learning learning session with the Zoo staff.
Requirements: Our day camps are a fully outdoor program that will proceed in all types of weather. To ensure your child has the best possible experience, outdoor clothing that can get dirty including rain pants, jacket, rubber boots (weather depending) are required. Suggestions for types of clothing and layering will be provided within a parent information package.
