Focus on Nature in Action




































Our Story
Focus on Nature is an Ontario non-profit corporation and registered charity that provides school workshops, camps, and online programming that uses photography to engage young people in the exploration of the natural world around them.
Our online course provides a creative, interdisciplinary tool for teachers to engage students in outdoor learning, and enrich curriculum-based instruction. With a focus on the grade 4-6 curriculum, there are ample experiential learning opportunities for students to acquire creative, technical and critical skills in photography.
With an easy to navigate website and lesson plans, Focus on Nature Online will have your students on their way to being budding photographers in no time. This program will support young people’s confidence and self-esteem by giving them opportunities to express their creativity and share their artistic achievements with their peers and community.
Focus on Nature Online is a nationwide program that welcomes the participation of all teachers and students.
