Lynx Trax Program

This small group  program (6-8 participants), for female identifying youth, ages 12-16, focuses on building self-esteem, positive peer connections, mental well-being, and exploring coping skills for the stressors and worries of life. The small, safe group will give girls a chance to expand their comfort zones, express themselves, and build a sense of belonging in the natural world.

Each program day will involve adventuring throughout the upper region of Thetis Lake Regional Park, and will build their confidence in outdoor skills such as hiking, fire building, carving, weaving, foraging for tea, art making and more.

Lynx Trax takes place in the outdoors for 4 hours rain or shine, so youth should be prepared to explore in the elements and develop a deeper connection with nature.  

This program is led by Teresa Winter – who has a passion for nature connection mentoring, and supporting the growth and well-being of children and teens.  She has a wealth of wild crafting and survival skills to share with the girls and is an incredible and caring mentor. She will be supported by an MA Counselling practicum student.

Sliding Scale rates are available to ensure that this program is available to all youth who are interested. Please inquire!

*Interested participants will attend a brief intake meeting over Zoom with Teresa to review their goals and interest in the program, meet the facilitators, and ask any questions about what to expect.
