About the Centre
The Killarney-Shebanoning Environmental Education Centre offers curriculum based outdoor education programming and opportunities for students to learn about healthy living, child and youth stewardship, values of faith, community studies, aboriginal teachings, ecological and environmental studies from elementary school, through high school and beyond. The centre is based at St. Joseph Catholic School in the village of Killarney on more than 7 acres of land. A partnership with Killarney Provincial Park caps off this rich and unique educational experience.

Killarney Shebanoning Outdoor Environmental Education Centre (KSOEEC) is nestled into the scenic port community of Killarney on the northeastern shore of Georgian Bay. The town is bound on all sides by wilderness and water, making it the perfect place to host outdoor environmental education. Read more...
