Activities for all ages

 

Kids & Families

As friends of the mountain, we believe in getting children outside from an early age so they learn about and appreciate the environment at their own pace. Our forest school activities, day camps and cross-country ski program give kids (and parents) a fresh outlook on Mount Royal!
