Children and Youth Naturalist Sessions

Come on an adventure to the wild side of Petrie Island to enjoy a morning in the great outdoors! The Friends of Petrie Island Naturalist sessions will begin Tuesdays in July. There will be a new theme each week and offer an interactive presentation on the topic of the day, a nature walk, a scavenger hunt, and a themed craft. The sessions run for about 2 hours beginning at 10:00 am and will be adapted for the ages of the children registered.

Thanks for your interest in our Kids’ Naturalist sessions! Our 2025 program dates aren’t available just yet, but rest assured—we’ll be running sessions throughout the summer. Dates and registration details will be posted by the end of May. We appreciate your patience and can’t wait to welcome your little explorers back soon!
