The Manitoba Nature Summit Inc. was started with the goal of showcasing some of the amazing work done to get kids outside, and providing opportunities for educators to learn about nature, alleviate fears, and pass a renewed sense of wonder on to the children in their lives. Nature Summit is founded on the belief that every child has the right to quality green space to play freely and experience the wonder of the outdoors. The summit offers a weekend of workshops and activities.
