Spend time with us outside on the Saskatchewan Prairies!

At Sage Creek, we live and learn on the traditional lands of the Cree and Metis people. We acknowledge their presence on our prairie landscape in Treaty Four Territory and celebrate our past and present connections to the land and what it teaches us about food security, balance and resilience.

As a science and outdoor education teacher in the public sector for more than two decades, I am dedicated to bringing everyone the opportunity to teach, play and learn outside. With degrees in both Biology and Education, and trained in both Forest School and National Geographic teaching and learning styles, I hope to combines my passion for nature with our beautiful wild Saskatchewan prairie to make each session at Sage Creek a memorable one.
"When a person is invited outside and allowed to experience nature, it is magical...there are so many moments which can inspire the beginnings of something incredible. With endless opportunities for navigating risk, making social connections, and differentiating activities and learning we learn more about ourselves and our connection to nature."
Join our staff for a session in 2023, and see how we do things differently!
Humans are hard-wired to be in nature, and we thrive when we are outside enjoying our wild and natural spaces. Our goal is to provide safe and skill-appropriate opportunities for all of our learners to reconnect with nature. Resiliency, mindfulness, conservation and food security were top on our list this season; have a look at our video to catch the highlights of a very busy season!
This is what we were up to in 2022!
Our outdoor space is absolutely incredible! A short walk down through the native prairie ends in a treed coulee where our permanent classroom is located. With a fire circle, fully-stocked kitchen, composting toilet, reading tent, and trail system, our rugged space is perfectly designed to accomodate small children, teens, adults, and groups of various sizes. Our brand new food forest produced a wonderful bounty this year, and we are looking foward to more locally-produced food (and hopefully fresh honey) from our new hives in 2023! We also travel to unique spaces in and around the Swift Current area.
Our adventures are planned and led by dedicated and experienced nature lovers. Using a mix of biology, environmental science, outdoor education, Forest School Principles, and a whole lot of fun, they make it possible for everyone to reconnect with the outdoors.
