Spend time with us outside on the Saskatchewan Prairies!
Sage Creek proudly offers a series of educational programs designed to reconnect individuals with our outdoor spaces.
As long as the sun shines, the grass grows, the river flows.
Welcome to the Grasslands.
At Sage Creek, we live and learn on the traditional lands of the Cree and Metis people. We acknowledge their enduring presence on Treaty Four Territory and celebrate together our past and present connections to the land and what it teaches us about balance, food security, and resilience.

About Us
A Message from Kristen Simonson, Director and Lead Educator
We've never needed time outside like we do now; our mental health, our social/physical/psychological development as humans, and our connections to land depend on increased opportunities to spend time in nature. Screens and AI-generated material don't replace our connections to nature, and the more detached society becomes to the natural world, the harder it is to re-engage.
As a biology, environmental science and outdoor education teacher for more than 25 years, I am dedicated to bringing opportunities to teach, play, learn and grow outside. With degrees in both Biology and Education and trained in Forest School, National Geographic Education, bushcraft and remote first aid, I hope to combine my passion for nature with our beautiful wild Saskatchewan prairie to make each session at Sage Creek a memorable one. By reengaging with our land, we reestablish our relationships with it and refocus on living with nature instead of dominating it.
Come play with us on the land; we'd love to see you!
A Look Back at Our Fourth Season
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 2024!
Beautiful Spaces
Our outdoor spaces are absolutely incredible! A short walk down through the native prairie ends in a treed coulee where our permanent classrooms are located. With our forest school classroom, fire circle, fully-stocked camp kitchen, composting toilet, reading tent, and large trail system, our rugged space is perfectly designed to accommodate small children, teens, adults, and groups of various sizes. Our brand new greenhouse will be the site of even more programming in 2025 as we continue to promote local food sourcing and food security. We also travel to unique spaces in and around the Swift Current area, and can create programming to suit schools, groups, and special occasions.
