Adventure begins

Tucked away in the beautiful woodlands of Ottawa, RiverOak Nature Camp is the ultimate playground for young explorers! Our camp is designed to spark curiosity and a love for nature with interactive activities, exciting programs, and memories that will last a lifetime.

​

Join us this summer for an incredible journey where nature's magic comes alive at RiverOak Summer Nature Camp. Fun, discovery, and unforgettable experiences await!

Inspire

RiverOak Nature Camp’s mission is to inspire and nurture a love for the natural world in young explorers. We are dedicated to providing a safe, engaging, and educational environment where campers can immerse themselves in nature, discover their strengths, and build lifelong skills. Through interactive activities, teamwork, and guided adventures, we aim to spark curiosity, foster environmental stewardship, and create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. Join us in celebrating the magic of nature and the joy of discovery at RiverOak Nature Camp!

Keeping active

Learning is an adventure at RiverOak with activities that aren’t just fun, they encourage campers to explore, investigate, and learn in a safe and welcoming environment. Kids will learn to build a fire, use some tools, orienteering, and other basic bushcraft skills that promote awareness  and critical thinking.

Our aerial park with rope bridges, slacklines, and traverse ropes provide a fun environment for everyone to build confidence, improve balance, and challenge campers. Combined with the rest of our obstacle course, there are plenty of stations to overcome.

​

Mother nature surrounds all activities at RiverOak, which gives us a new opportunity to learn everywhere we go. As we work our way around the property to various activities, we’ll be talking about everything we see and learn to identify some of the flora and fauna throughout.

​

Hands-on activities are always a favourite and we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty planting, foraging, playing, and having fun with little DIY projects. By engaging in these projects, campers get the chance to be creative, build practical skills, and connect with nature in a meaningful way while bringing a part with them

​

At RiverOak Nature Camp, the fun never stops! Our diverse range of activities ensures that every camper finds something to enjoy while learning and growing in the process.

Living with nature

Campers will learn how we connect with nature in our daily operations and lives. Permaculture principles, agroforestry, and foraging are part of what makes RiverOak an operational farm. As we explore the property, kids will have the opportunity to learn about our sustainable farming practices and participate in hands-on activities such as foraging for berries and other delicious treats.

​

As our young guests wander through the forests with us, they will learn about the harmonious relationship between trees, crops, and wildlife, creating a deeper understanding of how we can all work better with nature. Together we’ll learn about how we manage our woodlands and orchards, always looking for ways to improve.
