Did you see last week's Wilderness Survival Camp video?

This summer the fun, friendship, and learning of the Humber Arboretum's Summer Nature Camps for ages 5-12 has been captured in weekly videos created by Humber student Kaitlin Kealey, who recently completed her third year in the Film and Media Production degree program at Lakeshore Campus. From way-finding lessons and water filtration experiments to Art & Ecology and Natural Mindfulness sessions, these videos capture the joy and excitement that comes from getting kids outdoors, making discoveries.

See the latest video below and explore the full Summer Nature Camp 2017 Playlist on YouTube, which includes all of the weekly round-ups so far along with some fun with the counsellors. Then stay tuned to the Humber Arboretum's Facebook Page on Friday night for this week's video!

Spots Still Available for the End of August

While next week's camp is waitlist only, there are still a few spots available for the final two weeks of August. Give your kids one last chance to spend a whole week exploring the outdoors before it's time for back to school!

Camp prices start at $235 per week with before and aftercare available for an additional fee.

Register Now for Winter

Also, registration is now open for our two winter season day camps! These camps include seasonal outdoor adventures such as shelter building, animal tracking, chickadee hand-feeding, owl prowls, and - if weather permits - snowshoeing. March Break camp also has an additional focus on the Humber Arboretum's sustainable maple syrup harvest!

With a smaller capacity, these camps can fill up quickly. Register now to reserve your spot - payment plans area avalible within the registration system.

Registration and more information on all of the Humber Arboretum's Nature Day Camp programs is available on the Humber Arboretum website: humber.ca/arboretum/learn/camps.html

It's with mixed emotions that I share news of Gail Thornton's upcoming departure from Humber, for Durham College, effective August 24th. As so many of you know, Gail has been a valued and important member of Program Planning, Development and Renewal. In her 10 years at Humber, Gail has developed many new programs including several degrees. She has worked closely with faculty, administrators and industry partners to develop curriculum, map outcomes and meet Ministry requirements. Gail has also represented Humber on many provincial college committees. While we will miss her, we also send her our very best wishes for her exciting new role as Associate Dean, Teaching, Learning and Program Quality at Durham. Please join me in congratulating Gail on her new position.

In alignment with Humber’s Internationalization Strategy, the School of Media Studies and Information Technology recently launched the Social Media Summer Program, a collaborative initiative with one of our partner institutions in Denmark, Business Academy Aarhus (BAAA). In the first program of its kind, students from BAAA joined domestic Humber students for two-weeks from July 17-28, at Humber’s Lakeshore Campus. 

In this innovative course, taught by faculty from both Humber and BAAA, students discovered how to create relevant and meaningful social media content, and apply effective communication strategies across various platforms. In addition to trips to Facebook, Google and many guest speakers, students also gained a global perspective of social media from both a Canadian and Danish point of view.

Beyond the classroom, both Humber and BAAA students had a great time building meaningful relationships and expanding their international network. One Humber student participating in the course described his experience as a valuable “study abroad opportunity at home”.

For more information about this program please contact Larisa Duravetz at larisa.duravetz@humber.ca.
