Discover the Wonders of Nature
Embark on an unforgettable educational adventure with Firefly Farm and Forest! Our field trips offer children a unique opportunity to connect with nature, explore their curiosity, and learn in an engaging outdoor setting. Located in Burlington, Ontario, we provide enriching experiences for children aged 12 months to 12 years.
An Extraordinary Field Trip Experience
What sets Firefly Farm and Forest apart? We empower children to lead their own exploration on our expansive 100-acre property. Our child-led approach ensures that every experience is tailored to their interests and fosters a deeper connection with the environment. We offer a diverse range of activities, including woodworking and wood carving, sensory and creative explorations, rock mining and hammering, and guided tours of our frog pond and forest.
A Day of Discovery and Adventure
Imagine the perfect field trip: children freely exploring various "stations" at their own pace, fully immersed in activities that spark their curiosity. It's not uncommon for them to remain engaged for an hour or more! After that, we embark on a guided hike to our enchanting wooded area, complete with Bronte and Salamander Creek, offering endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.
Connect with Your Curriculum
Enhance your classroom learning with a field trip to Firefly Farm and Forest! We can customize the experience to align with various subjects and topics, including woodworking, rope and knot tying, exploring the seasons, animal print identification, plant identification, rocks and geology, and more. Let us help you create a memorable and educational experience for your students.
"We hope every child leaves here with a sense of curiosity, wanting to dive deeper into exploration and learn more about something they've discovered here."
