Through the Seven Tepees Outdoor Resource Program, youth learn to appreciate and understand the greater environment in which they live. This year-round program includes a two-week summer camp, a camping trip to a National Park, and outdoor expeditions such as a whitewater rafting trips.

Closer to home, youth participate in ongoing environmental education activities such as taking part in efforts to improve our parks and beaches and exploring the richness of the urban landscape. They learn about environmental stewardship and how to put into practice the skills that they learn.

"All children deserve contact with Nature as part of their heritage...The more our children see and know of the natural world around them, the better equipped they will be to face the basic realities of life and realize the noble potential of existence this planet has to offer."
