ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Ages 5 - 18

This is both a parented and drop off class. However, if your child is 7 or under I do need a parent or older sibling to be present. Parents/Guardians and siblings under the age of 5 are no charge. 

IF you are dropping off for the day please understand that between 12-1pm I will we on site but will not be monitoring the group. Please plan on either staying or coming back if you child needs supervision during that time. 

We will meet at the Alberta Shelter in Indian Battle Park. If you have any issues finding it the day of please text Rob at 587 447 9787.

If you are interested in purchasing a Kaykima x earthkits foraging bag please select it as an add on when registering. I will also have some on hand, as supplies last. See picture. They are Alberta made and are designed for young foragers and explorers. They include a mesh bottom so that spores from any mushrooms you find can fall and hopefully grow more!
