SUMMARY:PA Day Nature Camp - King's Forest (Hamilton\, ON)
DESCRIPTION:Spend your upcoming PA Day at King’s Forest with A Rocha Ontario!\nAt this 1-day nature camp\, your child will have the opportunity to learn about and build a personal connection to the natural world. Each nature camp program will be filled with nature experiences\, science experiments\, storytelling\, nature-based art and fun games! Together\, we will explore nature from both familiar and new perspectives\, building friendships and fond memories along the way. \nThis event is open to children ages 5-13. \nSliding Scale Pricing\nWe believe in the value of our programs and we know you do too! That’s why we have introduced sliding scale pricing this year; we are happy to have you come at any rate you select. Instead of a fixed fee\, you can choose from one of four fee options when registering: \n\nAccessible Rate: Choose this one if cost is a significant barrier to you attending and/or you identify as a member of a community facing systemic barriers to wealth accumulation (ie. you identify as BIPOC\, single-parent household\, low-income family\, etc).\nSubsidized Rate: Choose this one if cost is a barrier to you attending. We are able to offer this option due to the generosity of our supporters\, including donors and grants.\nTrue-Value Rate: This is what we estimate to be a fair cost for the event. It helps us cover costs of staff\, materials\, and other fees associated with running the event.\nPay-It-Forward Rate: Choose this one if you want to invest in the future of A Rocha programming and help others be able to come at the subsidized rate.\n\nBy offering tiered pricing\, we aim to balance affordability with sustainability\, making our programs accessible while also providing participants with an opportunity to support their community. If you have any questions\, please reach out to us at ontario@arocha.ca. \nPayment & Registration\nPlease purchase 1 ticket per child you wish to register. After purchasing your Eventbrite ticket(s)\, please make sure to also fill out the registration form below. \n\n					\n						Purchase Ticket(s)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n					\n				\n					\n						Complete Registration Form (MANDATORY)\nRegistration Form\n\n					\n				If this program is cancelled due to low enrolment or health and safety restrictions\, payment will be fully refundable. \nReach out to us at ontario@arocha.ca if you have any questions or visit arocha.ca/pa-day-nature-camp.

SUMMARY:A Rocha Oasis Series
DESCRIPTION:“On impulse\, this past fall I followed a little nudge in my spirit to sign up for A Rocha’s Oasis retreat\, and I was so glad I did. I was very run down\, and the day nourished my mind and body\, and gave me fresh wind in my sails. I’m still reflecting on and using some of the tools shared that day\, and I look forward to attending another retreat in the future.” — Kaitlin Williams\, Artistic Director at Pacific Theatre \nLife in leadership is rewarding but demanding\, often leaving us feeling depleted\, overwhelmed\, and disconnected. The Oasis Series\, hosted by A Rocha Canada\, offers Christian leaders a restorative experience designed to replenish your spirit\, reconnect you to creation\, and renew your commitment to meaningful service. \nJoin us for a transformative day where intentional rest meets and inspiring community. Through reflective teaching sessions\, rich biblical insights\, and guided encounters with nature\, you’ll discover practical ways to incorporate silence\, solitude\, and Sabbath into your busy life. Together\, we’ll navigate the challenges of leadership burnout and discern new paths toward sustainable\, purposeful living. \nWhat makes Oasis unique is its blend of spiritual nourishment\, the goodness of the earth\, and authentic community connection. You’ll leave refreshed\, equipped\, and encouraged\, ready to engage your ministry and community with renewed strength and clarity. \nLearn More & Register

Kids can look forward to a field trip\, special visitors\, fun crafts\, tasty snacks\, and discovering the wonder in our own backyards.  \nCamp runs from 9:00 am – 3:30 pm daily. \n\nKids ages 6-12 welcome.\nCome dressed to be outside for the day.\nBring your own lunch\, water bottle\, sunscreen\, and hat.\nYummy snacks provided!\n\nFor more information on A Rocha’s beliefs\, Heath procedures\, Air Quality Procedures\, and Risky Play Practices see our FAQ page. \nHow to Register \nThis year we are introducing a sliding scale for our day camp fees. We believe in the value of our programs and we know you do too. We also want our programs to be accessible to as many people as possible. Thanks to the generous support of donors and grants we are able to offer our camps at a subsidized rate for everyone. While the true cost of a week of camp is just under $400 per camper\, we are offering three affordable options for you to choose from. \nIf the rates offered are still beyond what you can afford please send us an email and we can talk about further financial assistance. Contact mb.education@arocha.ca for more info. \nEnter promo code FAM10 to get a 10% discount if you are registering more than one camper in a family. \n\n\n\n\nCANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS:   \nFamilies withdrawing with more than two weeks notice will be refunded full registration cost minus the Eventbrite administrative fee. If it is within the week prior to the program\, $50 will be non-refundable\, and the rest depending on if the spot is filled. \nIs this camp right for my child?\nAs a Christian conservation organization we strive to create warm\, inclusive\, quality environmental education programs that care for creation and equip others to do likewise. Our goal is to inspire hope\, wonder and curiosity through hands-on\, place-based immersive science education. By providing students with the opportunity to expand their eco-literacy and familiarity with the natural world\, our desire is that as a reflection of this knowledge\, their appreciation\, care and love of that space deepen and develop alongside their learning and exploration. \nOur work reflects our belief that God loves all of creation and calls humanity to act as stewards of that creation – both the human and non-human bits \nDiving Deeper into our Christian theology: \nWe aim to provide inclusive programming for a wide range of cultural backgrounds within our community. With that in mind\, we welcome insights from all cultures to address environmental challenges- to learn and grow from one another\, while remaining rooted in our calling to care for creation out of a love from the Creator. \nClick here for more information.

If it is within the week prior to the program\, $50 will be non-refundable\, and the rest depending on if the spot is filled. \nIs this camp right for my child?\nAs a Christian conservation organization we strive to create warm\, inclusive\, quality environmental education programs that care for creation and equip others to do likewise. Our goal is to inspire hope\, wonder and curiosity through hands-on\, place-based immersive science education. By providing students with the opportunity to expand their eco-literacy and familiarity with the natural world\, our desire is that as a reflection of this knowledge\, their appreciation\, care and love of that space deepen and develop alongside their learning and exploration. \nOur work reflects our belief that God loves all of creation and calls humanity to act as stewards of that creation – both the human and non-human bits \nDiving Deeper into our Christian theology: \nWe aim to provide inclusive programming for a wide range of cultural backgrounds within our community. With that in mind\, we welcome insights from all cultures to address environmental challenges- to learn and grow from one another\, while remaining rooted in our calling to care for creation out of a love from the Creator. \nClick here for more information.
