YYC Nature and Education Centre

My son spent a few days here doing camps over spring break and he absolutely loved it!!! He's a very anxious kiddo and this is literally the only camp he's ever been to that he didn't cry at drop-off and couldn't wait to go back. He got to see, learn about and interact with so many cool animals! He usually never tells me anything about his days at school, but he spent the entire drive home from this camp everyday telling me all of the interesting facts he learned. If your kid is an animal lover, I can't recommend these camps enough. They really are something special!

Jason has been building on his own education for so many years. He has solid knowledge and experience of the care for many exotic animals, and he is happy to share his knowledge of these animals with others. He's friendly, supportive and hilarious, and has a tendency to make the worst of bad dad jokes that get the room laughing. He can target any audience and any age group, and his love and care for the animals under his care are unsurpassed.

The new facility will be such a great place for education sessions and close encounters. In the trying times we've all experienced, Jason has worked hard to overcome the many obstacles so many people have been faced with while continuing to do what he loves. He's an amazing support for learning and fun, and Alberta is so lucky to have such a resource.

This place is so NEAT! The owner is insanely knowledgeable and I learned so many interesting things about the creatures in their care during my tour. This is the absolute perfect place to take an animal-loving kid for their birthday, or for a school field trip, and even for adults who want to learn more and interact with all kinds of animals. They support conservation and are all about responsible pet ownership (no glossing over the intricacies of exotic animal care - much respect). Honestly, check it out!
