Crawford Lake Field Trip – Oct 2024

Oct 12, 2024 | Outdoor Education, School Life

🌟 Field trips are a valuable part of the educational journey at Oak Learners! 🚀 They spark curiosity and excitement, giving our students hands-on experiences that truly bring classroom lessons to life!

On October 2, 2024, students from Oak Learners’ Royal York and Lakeshore Campuses ventured to Crawford Lake Conservation Area, where they stepped back in time to explore a 15th-century Longhouse Village! 🏡✨ They learned about the daily lives of Indigenous people over 600 years ago, discovering their foods, agriculture, and even trying their crafts. What an unforgettable experience! 🌿❤️

How Summer Camp Boosts Kids’ Mood & Wellbeing

The right kind of camp can act like a reset button for kids’ mood, confidence, and sense of connection—not just “something to do.” And the kind of camps Oak runs (small groups, nature, arts, movement, cozy community vibes) line up surprisingly well with what recent research says children need to feel well.

A Magical Evening of Music and Theatre at Oak Learners

On June 5th, Oak Learners wrapped up the 2024–2025 school year with a spectacular outdoor concert at Amos Waites Park. Students from our Day School, B.A.S.E.
