North - Thunder Bay - Wild Things Youth Group (Ages 6-12)

**Registration opens April 1 2026 at 12PM**

Autism Ontario and The Forest School an Alternative Learning Centre invites youth (ages 6-12) to a series of four nature based workshops! The group will meet with a nature instructor in an outdoor setting that is naturally quieter to support meaningful interactions, exploration and connection for both the youth and their caregivers.

Sessions will start introductions and an ice-breaker activity then move into hands on learning opportunities. This is an outside program with a blend of games, adventures, naturalist skills, sensory awareness, bushcraft and stewardship.
