Press Release
May 6, 2024
The Métis Nation of Ontario’s Early Learning Child Care Team is excited to offer In-Person Camps to our Métis families at the Canadian Ecology Centre in Mattawa, ON. The Camps are designed to provide Métis early learners between the ages of three and twelve, their siblings, parents/legal guardians, and grandparent(s) with an opportunity to learn more about Métis culture and way of life on the land from an early learning perspective.
During in-person camps, Métis families engage in activities that demonstrate respect for the land, teach early learners about their Métis culture and way of life, and connect with other Métis families from across Ontario. Caregivers will also have the opportunity to learn more about the programs and services offered through the Métis Nation of Ontario’s Early Learning Child Care program.
The Métis Nation of Ontario’s Early Learning Child Care Team would like to invite Métis families to our Fall In-Person Camp that will be held September 26 – 29, 2024, at the Canadian Ecology Centre in Mattawa, ON. The Early Learning Fall Camp is designed to provide Métis early learners between the ages of three and twelve, their siblings, parents/legal guardians, and grandparent(s) an opportunity to learn more about Métis culture and way of life from an early learning perspective.
Selected families will have their accommodation, meals, and travel covered by the MNO.
Families will have their own private accommodation. Families have the option to bring older siblings and siblings younger than three years of age to the camp. Each cabin can accommodate 3-5 people (2 double beds and one single top bunk). Families with infants or toddlers are encouraged to bring a playpen.
