Humber Arboretum day camps are based out of the Centre for Urban Ecology, but campers spend most of their time outdoors where they make their own discoveries in the forest, river, meadows, wetlands, gardens, and ponds of the Humber Arboretum. 

Every week at Nature Camp includes nature walks, pond discovery, art and ecology, camp songs and games, and indoor swimming on Fridays. The weekly theme inspires other activities:

Wilderness Survival Skills - Tuesday, August 6 to Friday, August 9 AND Monday, August 12 to Friday August 16, 2024

In this special nine-day session campers will explore strategies to survive in the wilderness. They will work with others to construct a natural shelter that protects from the elements, learn how to find their way (without a phone), and discover what it takes to build a fire that would keep people warm inside and out during an emergency.

Registration closes on Tuesday night for this one-day workshop open to all.

Hive products are more than just honey and beeswax. They include pollen and propolis, nucs and queens, and some surprises which we will explore. So what are the steps for a sustainable harvest? This workshop will examine harvesting tools and methods, regulations, jarring, and labeling first-hand.

Incorporating a hands-on component, attendees will have a chance to uncap a honey frame and spin it out using our hand-cranked centrifuge. Learning how to clean beeswax and build a simple solar wax melter are also part of this experience. 

Wear clothes you don't mind getting messy and/or bring an apron!

While this workshop is part of the Humber Arboretum's Sustainable Urban Beekeeping Certificate, there are no pre-requisites and it is open to anyone when room is available.

At time of posting we have three spots available for this Saturday's workshop.

When: Saturday, July 20, 10 a.m to 3 p.m.
Where: North Campus (Registrants will be sent specific location detals)
How: The  fee is $105.00 plus HST ($118.65).

Registration closes at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16.

You are invited to participate in Humber’s Aging in Community Education and Research Hub (ACER) Community of Interest. 

The Community of Interest (CI) offers an informal, virtual platform for Humber faculty (full and part-time), staff, and students to connect and engage in conversations about their shared interest in topics related to aging. This virtual 'brown bag' lunch conversation will revolve around subjects that matter to participants, such as articles they would like to discuss, upcoming events, potential research projects, and the sharing of research results. The community gathers monthly on the third Thursday from 12 to 1 p.m.

To join our email list and register for the CI, fill out the registration form.
