Support the SaskOutdoors Grant Program!
At SaskOutdoors, we see firsthand how outdoor experiences positively impact children. A moment of wonder on a trail, learning to paddle for the first time, making fire in the winter, noticing a bird they’ve never seen before… these moments change kids. They build confidence, connection, resilience, and a lifelong relationship with the land.
This is why the majority of our SaskOutdoors Grant Program funding is directed toward children’s outdoor learning experiences.
In February 2026, we’re launching our first-ever SaskOutdoors Experience Auction, a fundraiser built around experiences, not things. We hope to showcase the incredible outdoor educators, knowledge keepers, and adventure leaders across Saskatchewan by offering unique experiences that families, educators, and community members can bid on.
Every dollar raised will go directly to helping more children access meaningful, land-based, and nature-connected programs across the province.
