Looking for an educational activity to do as a family? Scout Island summer staff are providing small group nature programs free of charge from June 8 to July 3 with COVID-19 precautions.
“There has been a lot of thought put into how we can do this in a safe manner,” noted Sue Hemphill, executive director of the Scout Island Nature Centre (SINC).
Children are invited to come with their family, or a bubble that includes at least one adult, to one of SINC’s two-hour programs; All About Bugs, Birds on the Brain or The Marvelous Marsh.

“We can accommodate up to 10 people that are part of a “bubble” or two smaller groups, and we will keep the two bubbles separate. To ensure that we are preventing the spread of the virus, staff will physical distance from the visiting groups during presentations, games, and walks—yes, all will be part of the program.”
All activities will take place outside.
