Special Program: Learning in the Open Air

Working in teams, students will take on challenges that require observation, listening, memory and cooperation.

Get out of the classroom and take part in Les amis de la montagne's Open-Air Learning program! Offer your students educational activities in the great outdoors on Mount Royal throughout the school year. This immersive nature program, which includes five outings on Mount Royal, allows students to learn according to the Quebec Education Program, while observing the pedagogical principles of Forest Schools. It's the perfect opportunity for your students to take part in varied, authentic and meaningful learning situations in nature!

The cost of the activity includes preparatory workbooks for teachers, an outdoor activity guide and return transport to Mount Royal for each of the five activities.
