Autumn 2024
Weekend Forest School at Bois-de-Liesse Nature Park
Our Weekend Forest School gives the opportunity for your child to spend time in nature, to learn about the elements of the forest, to meet new friends, to freely explore and be authentically themselves in a safe and supportive environment. Children are given ample time for imaginative play, role playing, and team building activities, which foster crucial social skills and builds their self-esteem. Parents whose children attend Forest School have observed improved self-confidence and enhanced self-regulation in their kids. This program is designed for children from ages 4 to 10 years old.
Our sessions run from September 14th until December 14th, 2024, every Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm.
Fees are $50/day or $675 for all sessions. There is a 20% sibling discount for children of the same family.

Maariya’s dedication, passion, and commitment to education have not only enriched the children’s minds but also made them smarter and more curious learners. Every day, they come home excited about what they've learned and eager to share their new knowledge with us. I thank her for making a positive impact on their lives and for inspiring them to reach their full potential. Her hard work truly makes a difference!

Forest School has offered my son the opportunity to explore tree climbing, hiking and building in nature with confidence, to socialize with other children who share common values and to build a strong bond with their instructors. Maariya and Noora are empathetic, joyful and creative. I am very grateful for their dedication in reviving an authentic connection with nature, something that is lost in most children and adults today. I highly recommend the Beaming Light Nature Academy. It is a valuable resource and a gem in the community.

“I participated as a leader with Maariya and it was such a fulfilling, enjoyable experience, not only for the children who had an awesome time and learnt emotional intelligence on the fly which I witnessed live, but also for myself. I was super in tune with nature and I felt like a child again. Maariya, as the instructor, is so good at what she does. Her heart is in the right place when it comes to these children. Your kids will get a lot of good from this. Anyone who has children and remembers how it was to be outside, not in front of computers, go out and get your children out. They'll forge bonds and lifelong memories. It'll help shape them as young children into adolescents and blossom into adults and future leaders of the world.”
