Go! Get Outside!

The GO! After School Program is an outdoor based recreation program intended to get youth ages 9-14 back in touch with nature while remaining active.  The program focuses on Environmental Education, Outdoor Pursuits and Adventure Education.

There are three GO! programs throughout the school year:  GO! Fall, GO! Winter and GO! Spring.  The program is based in the beautiful outdoors with whatever Nova Scotia’s weather might present – sun, wind, rain or snow!  Depending on the season, activities may include hiking, tarp shelter building, snow shelters, snowshoeing, navigation with compasses, geocaching, fire preparation and building and a variety of outdoor games.

The GO! program is offered at Saint Andrew Junior School, East Antigonish Education Centre/Academy, HM MacDonald Elementary School St. Andrew’s Consolidated School and Ecole acadienne de Pomquet.
