Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share
creating a deep and personal relationship between our children and the natural world
What we do !
Little Knapsack club is a nature immersion program for kids. The children are encouraged to participate through an emergent, child-directed and play-based curriculum. We encourage them to use all of their senses to experience the world around them. Nature becomes their teacher in building sustainable relationships with the world around them.
Our heart is permaculture and we honour traditional indigenous management practices and its legacy to permaculture.
About US
We aim to facilitate environmental, social and cultural healing, without restricting the children’s free thinking with strict concepts or ideals. Through fostering a connection with food, the seasons, animal care, the environment, local traditions and culture – The kids learn to cultivate a sense of reverence for the Earth and all of life.
We help the children stay curious and gain confidence as they discover the natural world for themselves. Our intent is to share the most powerful knowledge held within the teachings of our environment.
Where we play !
We alternate and meet between Colony Farm Regional Park, Minnekhada Regional Park and a beautiful local Blueberry Farm.
Our adventures take place on the shared Unceded and occupied Territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Sto’:lo peoples. We are privileged to play and learn on Sto’:lo traditional territory. We respect the unique traditions of each Indigenous Nation and seek to decolonize all our relationships.
