Cross-Canada Road Trip
This summer we invite you and your family to reconnect with nature by taking a VIRTUAL road trip across Canada!
Each week we’ll travel to a new location across our nation, learn about the local wildlife, share tips and ideas for your next outdoor adventure, and highlight how you can support conservation and help make a difference.
Snap and share a picture of your family participating in any of the weekly activities using #WeeklyWild and you will also automatically be entered into a monthly draw for your chance to WIN a fabulous WILD Family Nature Club adventuring backpack full of goodies.
What You’ll Need
This virtual experience is a fun way for kids and families to enjoy their summer together! While your ability to travel may be limited this year, this is a great way to explore new locations across Canada and engage kids each week – both at home and in nearby nature.
We recommend starting off the road trip with these free items:
- Print off a copy of your map of Canada and pin it up so you can mark each Canadian location you visit each week
- Find an old journal, notebook or collection of pages to make into a Travel Journal – each week we’ll ask some reflective questions on your experience.
- Download this postcard template so you can make your own postcards for each stop on your Canadian adventure!
