Bring your youth group closer to wildlife!

We’ll bring the experience to you with our Wildlife On Wheels (W.O.W.) program, delivering engaging, hands-on wildlife education right to your group’s location.
Whether you’re planning an outing for Scouts, Guides, camps, clubs, community organizations, homeschool groups, or another youth program, we’ll help you create a wildlife experience your group will remember.
Adventure With Us at the Wildlife Discovery Campus
Step out of the everyday and into Nature’s Classroom.
Our onsite youth group experiences invite participants to explore the forest, connect with Ontario wildlife, and learn alongside our wildlife educators. Groups will have opportunities to discover some of the incredible species that call Soper Creek Wildlife home, which may include bobcats, Canadian lynx, foxes, groundhogs, opossums, skunks, owls, porcupines and more.
Every visit combines discovery, education and adventure while encouraging curiosity, compassion and a deeper understanding of the wildlife that shares our communities.

A Campus Built for Wild Discovery
The Soper Creek Wildlife Discovery Campus is an outdoor facility located within the forest. Participants travel along natural pathways as they explore the property, making the environment part of the experience itself.
Lunch & Shelter
Groups have access to our covered picnic shelter, providing a dedicated space to enjoy snacks and lunch during their adventure.
Accessibility
Because our Discovery Campus is situated in a natural forest setting with unpaved pathways, accessibility can be limited in some areas. We encourage group leaders to speak with our team before booking so we can learn about the needs of your participants and work together to create the best experience possible.
We’ll Bring the Wild to You
Can’t visit the Discovery Campus? We’ll venture to you!

Event? Make Wildlife the Highlight
Planning an open house, welcome BBQ, year-end celebration or family event?
Bring something truly WILD to the day.
Our Wildlife On Wheels event experience provides up to three hours of interactive wildlife programming, including two 30-minute presentations. For events where a formal presentation isn’t the best fit, our educators can also offer shorter mini-presentations throughout the event, allowing families to stop by, explore and participate at their own pace.
Our interactive wildlife display can include live Animal Ambassadors, wildlife sounds, engaging activities and an incredible collection of artifacts including bones, pelts and skulls.
It’s an experience designed to get children—and adults—asking questions, making discoveries and connecting with wildlife.
Special Event Programming: $675 + HST
Connect With Wildlife From Anywhere
Virtual Wildlife Experiences
Wildlife discovery doesn’t have to stop because you can’t visit us in person.
Our virtual wildlife presentations bring many of the interactive elements of our onsite and Wildlife On Wheels programs directly to your screen.
During a 45–60 minute session, participants will explore Ontario wildlife, discover fascinating animal facts and virtually meet some of our beloved Animal Ambassadors.
Virtual Program: $60 + HST per group
Maximum: 30 participants
Perfect for groups looking for an accessible, engaging wildlife experience from almost anywhere.
Why Soper Creek Wildlife?
Soper Creek Wildlife is more than a place to meet animals. We are a wildlife rehabilitation and outdoor education organization committed to creating a stronger connection between people, wildlife and the natural world.
Every species—large or small—plays an important role in a healthy ecosystem. Through our educational programs, participants discover those connections while developing curiosity, empathy, respect and compassion for the wildlife living all around us.
Our Animal Ambassadors help us tell those stories. Through their experiences, participants learn about native wildlife, animal adaptations, conservation and what each of us can do to help wildlife thrive.
Your Adventure Helps Wildlife
When you book a program with Soper Creek Wildlife, your experience reaches far beyond your group.
Program proceeds support our wildlife hospital and the sick, injured and orphaned wild animals admitted into our care.
That means your group gets an unforgettable wildlife experience while helping give wild animals the opportunity to recover and, whenever possible, return to where they belong—the wild.
