Visit our Indigenous Peoples Experience and discover how the living natural world is foundational to First Nations, Inuit and Métis ways of understanding through land-based learning activities. Take a trip to the John Janzen Nature Centre and take a close look at how animals build their homes, what they eat and how they adapt to the city.

An evil time-bandit is messing with history and needs to be set straight. Campers - History Heroes - will need to conduct interviews with characters from Edmonton’s past and discover clues to right this dreadful wrong. Participants will create their own detective tools and keep track of all the important facts in their top secret files. It will require code cracking and other special tricks of the trade.
