My name is Brittni Middleton and I'm happy you're here! I started this program out of a desire to find quality outdoor education programs in my area. After my oldest daughter had an amazing experience in a forest school environment, I wanted more of that for her but struggled to find programming that didn't have years long wait lists. After teaching in a remote community in Nunavut and running youth mentorship camps for 7 + years, I was looking for a way to merge my passion for working with kids and my love for nature. So I studied Dendrology, became an Ontario Master Naturalist and took the Forest School Practitioner course through CNAC where I gained valuable knowledge about outdoor programming. That is when Stay Wild was born!
