Outdoor Education


kingfisher2.JPG - description not available

Lakehead Public Schools owns and operates Kingfisher Lake Outdoor Education Centre, a unique facility offering curriculum linked experiential education. It provides a multitude of year-round opportunities to instill an awareness and appreciation for nature and the environment while enhancing classroom learning. Daytrips and residential excursions offer enriched learning that complements the Ontario Curriculum for all grade levels in Science, Biology, Geography, Art, and Literacy as well as Health and Physical Education.

Nestled in the boreal forest 20 km north of Thunder Bay, the Kingfisher site has a wealth of natural resources, including beautiful Kingfisher Lake, Airplane Lake and a classic example of a black spruce bog, all within close proximity to the centre. Hiking and ski trails wind through wetland areas, poplar and birch highlands, and rocky outcrops, giving the visitor a well-rounded boreal forest experience.
