Forest Classroom
A peaceful gathering place where children enjoy stories, nature journaling, science, crafts, Forest School activities and quiet moments beneath the trees.
Our outdoor play space
Nature is at the heart of every day
Our thoughtfully designed outdoor environment invites children to climb, build, explore, create and connect with nature every single day — every space encourages confidence, curiosity, creativity and active, meaningful play.
Room to roam
Natural play elements
Every trail, play space and quiet corner encourages movement, creativity, problem-solving and child-led discovery.
Jumping
Four in-ground jumping nets provide endless fun while helping children develop strength, balance, coordination and confidence.
Sky Walk
Our new elevated net bridge lets children cross high among the trees — a favourite for building courage, balance and confidence one step at a time.
Climbing
Our climbing wall, rope elements and natural features encourage children to challenge themselves, solve problems and celebrate their achievements.
Balancing
Balance beams, slacklines and natural obstacles help children strengthen coordination, body awareness and confidence through movement.
Nature Exploration
Bug hunts, nature collections, seasonal discoveries and hands-on exploration inspire curiosity and a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.
Open-Ended Play
Natural logs, stumps, open spaces and loose materials encourage imagination, teamwork, creative thinking and child-led adventures that are different every day.
A home away from home
Our Indoor Environment
Thoughtfully renovated to feel calm, welcoming and comfortable — a home-like setting where children can relax and recharge after a busy school day.
Soft neutral colours, natural textures and warm décor create a home-like setting where children can relax and recharge after a busy school day.
With more than 2,000 square feet of usable space, children have room to spread out across three large activity rooms, along with a cozy lounge for reading, quiet time and the occasional rainy-day movie. Indoor movement options — including PS4 Just Dance, electronic basketball and a musical boxing game — give children fun ways to stay active when the weather keeps us inside.
Our cupboards are filled with toys, board games, card games, books, colouring supplies and arts and crafts materials. Whether children want to create, play with friends, move their bodies or settle into a quieter activity, there is always something to do.

Mindful Mondays

After-School Swims
For children ages 7 and up, our weekly after-school swims add movement, confidence and a splash of fun to the week.
A touch of magic
Meet Our Little Forest Guardians
Hidden among the trees, rocks and secret corners of Shuswap Kids Club lives a magical community of fairies, gnomes and woodland friends.
They have chosen our forest as their home because they know it is a place where nature is treasured, imagination is encouraged and every small creature is treated with kindness.
We help protect their tiny homes, and in return, our little guardians watch over the forest and the children who play beneath the trees. Keep your eyes open as you explore. You never know where a fairy may be hiding, or when a little bit of woodland magic might appear.
Calm & peaceful
Our outdoor space is designed to feel calm, welcoming and safe — a place where children can be themselves and just be kids.
Calm and peaceful environment.
Healthy kids, happy kids
Time outdoors supports focus, creativity, resilience and well-being. It's all part of growing strong — in body, mind and spirit.
Outside in all seasons
Spring, summer, fall and winter — we head outside all year, discovering the wonders of each season on our fully fenced 1.25-acre property.
