Summer Interpretive Programs

Visitors during Pukaskwa’s peak season have the opportunity to enjoy guided programming and/or drop-in talk tables on most days. For more information about our weekly program schedule, reach out to the Visitor Centre or Park Kiosk.

Drop-in Programs

In the morning, check out our talk table near the visitor centre to chat with an interpreter about a variety of topics, from outdoor safety to Anishinaabe cultural teachings to park ecology.

Guided Programs

Visitors can register for scheduled deliveries of these programs at the Visitor Centre for a per-person fee. Registering a day or two in advance lets us know how many participants to expect for the program. Guided programs typically run for a full hour and are offered in the afternoon.

Anishinaabe Camp

Before Pukaskwa was a National Park, local Indigenous communities lived and worked on Hattie Cove’s shores. Learn about the traditional structures and practices that made this place home for the summer.

Beachcombers

What natural curiosities will you find? Join an interpreter to take a closer look at all the different things that can be found on Horseshoe Beach. Help determine the difference between what is trash and what is treasure!

New Beginnings: A Fire Story

Forest fires can be destructive, but they can also be an important part of the forest’s life cycle. Learn how Pukaskwa manages fire to keep the forest healthy.

Sand Salutations

Take a moment for calm and gratitude as we use our senses and gentle movement to connect with Pukaskwa’s dune habitat.
