Outdoor Education

Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) has had a long-standing commitment to provide students with outdoor education experiences. We strongly believe in the importance of connecting with our surroundings and the learning that occurs while in our natural environment. We are fortunate to have many schools with beautiful outdoor spaces for all students to use daily and many of our educators provide year-round outdoor experiences for our students.

The Grade 6 experience

Located in Bracebridge, Camp Muskoka is the place where TLDSB Grade 6 students attend an overnight, curriculum-based outdoor experience. Camp Muskoka is a year-round outdoor education facility that has focused their programming on making connections between the curriculum and nature, while helping students develop greater connections with their peers through leadership and team building activities.
