Adventures in Art & Environment (Gr. 1-up)

Start the school year off with an adventure! This fall, bring your students to “Experience the Art of Conservation” a world class gathering of some of the finest nature artists in the world, and build awareness around environmental guardianship. AFC’s youth program is a full day of art & environmental educational activities including:
  • an interpretive eco-walk
  • film
  • hands-on creative learning component with a leading artist
  • First Nations cultural learning.
As part of this year’s Artists for Conservation Festival, we are excited to offer a unique program designed to connect youth with nature through visual arts and build awareness around environmental guardianship. The program features several fun and creative activities (indoors and outdoors) exploring nature and species conservation. Call to reserve NOW! Space is limited. Five days only during the AFC Festival. Advanced registration required.
