Working with Energy, Mines & Resources, Rivers to Ridges is working to develop an educator's resource that will help compliment the Yukon Research Forest experience. This includes pilot sessions in classrooms in Dawson, Burwash Landing and Whitehorse, and the development of curriculum-connected lessons that highlight and engage young people in Yukon forests.

Custom Outdoor & Land-based Programs
for Children & Youth

Rivers to Ridges has worked with a number of Yukon First Nations and community groups to deliver land-based programs with children including after-school programs and weekend programs. For these programs especially, Rivers to Ridges prioritizes the inclusion of local Elders and knowledge keepers for sharing traditional knowledge and stories of the land.

The activities and games we facilitate are designed to build connections with the land. We aim to foster empathy for self & others, improve sensory-motor awareness through tactile, sound-based and movement games (including silent sneaking and camouflague), and build community through story-telling, knowledge-sharing and group song.
