SEE THE SOLE

OF THE CITY ON YOUR

NEXT FIELD TRIP

Led by talented educators our walks are fun, inquiry-based tours tied to Ontario social sciences and art curriculum for students in Grades 5-12.

OUR WALKS: Revitalize This! The Urban Geography Tour Students become urban planners and experts in land uses, discovering what makes two of the city’s most distinct neighbourhoods, Cabbagetown and Regent Park, so vital.

Eco-lution Tour Students evaluate and debate examples of local food, transportation and preserving eco-systems on this tour of the majestic University of Toronto main campus.

Media on the Street From the CBC headquarters to Queen West, students explore diverse forms of media, and become reporters to answer the question: What makes messages powerful?

Art & the City Students become artists, connoisseurs and critics on this interactive tour of Toronto’s best public art from Nathan Phillips Square to St. Lawrence Market.

Kensington Market Scavenger Hunt This two-part scavenger hunt explores key curriculum points on immigration, cultural diversity and financial literacy, all amongst the backdrop of Toronto’s most diverse neighbourhood.

Waterfront & Wetlands Students wade into the debate over land use along the waterfront, map out a wetland, examine Ontario’s most creative street design, and get flooded with a natural disaster.

Casa Loma Casa Loma – where learning comes to life.

Casa Loma is one of Toronto’s premier historic attractions.

Originally home to Canadian financier, industrialist, and military officer, Sir Henry Pellatt, the castle offers students a unique and interesting way to experience and learn about the early 20th century. Casa Loma allows students to journey into the past. Our educational guided tours will connect students to the concepts of historical thinking through live interactive experience.

In 1911, Sir Henry Pellatt engaged noted architect E.J. Lennox to help him realize a lifelong dream, the creation of an Edwardian castle on the top of a hill overlooking Toronto.

It took 300 men nearly three years to complete the nearly to 200,000 square foot castle at a cost of $3,500,000 (at the time). Situated on five acres, Casa Loma was the largest private residence in Canada. Sir Henry Pellatt with his wife Lady Mary enjoyed Casa Loma for less than ten years before financial misfortune forced him to abandon his home.

Step back into a bygone era at Casa Loma, Canada’s majestic castle.

Will you answer the call of a walk with dinosaurs in the world of the Jurassic period?

Can you take part in this journey right from your classroom?

Yes! And your children will have such an opportunity.

After all until now on earth there are giant birds, of which almost nothing is known and which excite the strongest research interest in kids!

Who are these unbelievable creatures? Ostriches of course!

We all want for our kids to receive not only book, but practical point of view of the diverse planet, on which we live. Because the direct and tactile exposure to the animal kingdom, makes children kind, compassionate and responsible but also awakens the desire to patronize and care.

And perhaps, for some they will serve as an impetus to early career guidance in the field of natural sciences.

Rock climbing is a great sport for everyone, regardless of body type, confidence, or current experience.

It is a skill that can help build self-confidence as students surprise themselves at climbing higher than they expected.

We offer over 46 routes with heights varying from 10 to 37 feet.

We have six different bouldering areas, as well as simulated rock faces, chimney climbing, crack climbing, top rope, and lead climbing areas.

NOT YOUR TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM Aspire Climbing’s programs are developmental to guide participants through, the fun, fitness and problem solving that comes naturally in rock climbing. It’s a journey of gaining selfawareness and self-confidence that’s inherit with the challenges and successes experienced through progression in climbing. Learning to overcome fears and how to take risks is a healthy part of life; at Aspire Climbing we provide the facility and the programs where your students have the opportunity to climb outside their comfort zone all while building selfesteem, fitness and character. We combine rock climbing with obstacle racing to challenge and inspire every participant.

Students will experience increased body awareness, sharpened motor skills and coordination for healthy growth. A great practice for everyday life…

ROCK CLIMBING An exercise of the mind and body, rock climbing is not simply about making it to the top; each climb presents a new challenge to negotiate the best way to achieve success. This valuable learning is important to every child’s development.

Students gain the opportunity to: test their problem-solving ability and stretch their minds; and to find creative solutions, allowing them to go further and higher.

Our programs guide students through this journey, build better/smarter climbers and in return, these skills translate into how they tackle challenges in life.

NINJA WARRIOR Obstacle Racing or Ninja Warrior training is an alternative form of exercise that strengthens the mind / body connection.

It’s like playing on one of the most fun, yet challenging playgrounds there are. This is agility training at its best. This form of play helps the body learn proper alignment and movements necessary to stabilize, balance and control dynamic movement.

Students participating in Ninja Warrior are challenged to move in non-linear ways which engages a greater number of muscles. They are testing their response time and developing their hand-eye coordination. Our Ninja relay sets the stage

for students to focus on their strengths, while working as part of a team to complete the obstacle course. Participation in the relay is a powerful demonstration of how impactful being self aware can be and how beneficial collaboration really is.

ROCK CLIMBING AND NINJA WARRIOR SUPPORT CHARACTER EDUCATION IN ACTION: Positive character attributes are highlighted, modeled and practiced by students involved in the Climbing and Ninja programs. Cooperation, Teamwork, Trust, Attitude, Self-Esteem: Active involvement in these programs inherently builds good character and contributes to the healthy development of attitudinal life skills. In climbing gyms everywhere, you will often see groups of people supporting the efforts of one person scaling the wall.

Climbers help each other get to the top by encouraging each other and offering supportive direction from the ground level. Both Rock Climbing and Obstacle racing are individual sports where you set your goals and challenge yourself to push harder. The feeling of reaching your goal is intrinsically rewarding and builds on the idea that inside each of us is the power to achieve.

EXPERIENCE MORE Aspire Climbing is Milton’s indoor rock climbing and ninja warrior facility.

Aspire Climbing has provided my students with the confidence to not only try new physical activities, but to apply problem-solving skills and set goals along the way. The environment is fun, with many colourful obstacles to explore and tackle. The staff built excellent rapport with the kids and made them feel that they were safe at all times. I took grade 4-7 students to the facility, and each climbing class was adapted to suit the grade level and students involved. They provided me with a guideline to assess the students’ behavior and progression in the program which I found to be very useful.

We all enjoyed ourselves very much, thank you Aspire Climbing!
