Nature education for the land and soul
Where Nature, Wisdom, and Belonging Meet
Welcome to Fianna
Rooted in long-term relationship with land, story, and community, our programs invite children into deeper belonging—through the wild play and the steady rhythm of mentorship. We offer year-round programs for children, including weekly nature immersions and summer camps. At the heart of all we do is a commitment to mentoring as a way of life: closer to the land, closer to each other.
Fianna is guided by a skilled team of mentors and facilitators, each with deep-rooted connections to the natural world and their communities.
Lands Where We Work
We gratefully acknowledge the ancestral territories of the Snuneymuxw. It is on their land that we live and work, seeking to uphold their example of stewardship for all future generations. We carry anti-colonial ways as a deep value in our hearts and honour the traditions and cultures that have been embedded in this land since time immemorial.
Diversity
Fianna strives to be a diversity-safe organization. We welcome all identities, and acknowledge the right of any individual to define their identity.
We welcome kids, adults and staff from across the spectrum of gender diversity and sexual orientation.
Social Justice
We commit to decolonization, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive practices, acknowledging that we are a settler-led school of white and white-passing directorship.
We strive to remain aware of our privilege, and welcome feedback on our ongoing process of reflection and growth in creating safer spaces for participants and staff.
Connection
If your family faces systemic forms of oppression that create financial barriers to attending our programs, we are happy to negotiate low-cost participation, please be in touch.
