Enjoy the great outdoors! Our team at the Strathcona Wilderness Centre is excited to offer several seasonal outdoor pursuit opportunities.
During the warmer months, you'll find a selection of outdoor programs for nature exploration and forest play, and adults can enjoy crafts, exercise and themed date nights. When the temperature starts to dip, our programs shift to a focus on cross-country skiing programs for novice learners all the way up to experts. You'll also find snowshoe tours, group outdoor skills programs and winter walks on the world-class trail system at the Strathcona Wilderness Centre.
