We welcome your interest in programs for your class! We offer various programs that are tailored to Ontario curriculums. All programs are FREE! For elementary level students, our programs usually consist of a focused presentation on the topic of your choice and a virtual activity such as a craft, game, or fact-packed bingo. Our programs are best suited for students in Kindergarten to Grade 5. A description of each program can be seen below:

The Peter Russell Rock Garden GeoWalk will introduce you to ancient Earth, landscapes and environments as well as gold resources, historic climate change, and plate tectonic processes recorded in the rocks. These intentionally selected stories that integrate information from multiple rocks give geography teachers a clear way to connect the Rock Garden to Ontario’s Grade 9 Exploring Canadian Geography course (CGC1W). This program can be completed by a teacher in their classroom OR book this program with one of our staff to conduct it virtually. There are currently five stops available. |
Time varies depending on the number of stops. Up to 60 |
