Junction-High Park before and after school centre March Break registrations

High Park Nature Centre Summer registrations

The High Park Nature Centre will be holding registration for summer camp programs on Tuesday, February 22nd, starting at 8 am.


Our summer camp options include a program for preschoolers aged 3 - 5 years old. Knee High Naturalists can attend our 2-hour program, along with a parent and/or caregiver, in the morning or afternoon, to get a taste of summer camp.

For kids looking for a full-day program, we offer Nature Nuts for 6-10 year olds and Young Naturalists Club for 8-12 year olds. All campers have a chance to discover the amazing plants, animals and insects of High Park’s forest, savannah and wetland habitats. Both programs run from 9 am to 4 pm and Nature Nuts also get a chance to go swimming at the outdoor High Park pool.

All programs operate out of the High Park Nature Centre, located at 430 Parkside Dr, just south of Bloor.

La Leche League's mission is to help mothers worldwide to breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information, and education, and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and mother.

La Leche League will meet the first Tuesday of the month. This group is for women only who are breastfeeding or are looking to learn more about breastfeeding including expecting mothers.

Streetknit at Annette St Public Library

We all know that the economy is tough, and there are too many desperate people in our fair city.

Streetknit helps, by knitting warm blankets, socks, and mittens for homeless people.

This program has a new location in our community - Annette Street Public Library, on

Thursday evenings, 6:15 - 8:15 pm.

Wool and needles are provided - instruction too, for non-knitters who want to learn.
Volunteer hours for high school students!
Thanks very much,

Pam
