Who Are We?

WRN Kids is a club sponsored by Waterloo Region Nature to encourage kids to enjoy nature.  It's a great place for kids 7-12 years of age (and their parents) to get together, share exciting nature experiences and stories, and learn more about our amazing local environment.

During the 2023-2024 season we learned about squirrels, played a predator-prey game, and participated in a presentation about snakes and turtles. When winter came we did some trail trimming, participated in the Christmas Bird Count for Kids, and then used compasses to find hidden clues along a trail. Spring brought a birding hike, then a presentation on the exotic pet trade and making our video about that topic, and an evening looking at moths.

Who Can Join?

WRN Kids is open to kids 7-12 years of age.  Registration is necessary. This is a family program, so we request that a parent or guardian stay with their child for the duration of each program.

What Does It Cost?

The cost for the September to May session is $40.00 per child and $35.00 per additional child in the same family. Registration during February through April is half price. If you register in May, your registration will also include the next fall and winter. Sponsorships are available. Registration is open for the 2024-2025 season.

Where and When?

The programs will be at a few different locations throughout the year (so take special note of the venue in each program announcement) and the programs take place on the last Saturday of the month from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon unless otherwise announced ahead of time. The program normally runs from September through May, with no meeting in December. There are occasional bonus outings.
