Teachers had this to say about Wildfire:

“Wildfire in a word is adventure. It’s about children learning, laughing and forming lifelong friendships. The Wildfire experience builds memories; It’s a classroom with no walls but rather nature is our chalkboard, and the co-ordinator our chalk. We love Wildfire and we’ll be back!”
M. Stanford and R. Meliton, Teachers
St. Angela Catholic School, Rexdale, Ontario
