Supported Extended Experiences and Discoveries (SEEDS)
SEEDS (Supported Extended Experiences and Discoveries) is a supported recreational program designed for people aged 18 and older to use their Passport funding in order to explore Ontario.
Our approach puts what you want first and allows you to plan and develop an experience catered to you within the means of your budget.
You pick the region and we will provide you with a list of activities you can do or you can come with your own itinerary ready to go. All activities and accommodations are pre-paid, maximizing your time spent on fun!
Want to stay out overnight? No problem! This program is subsidized by a second funding source, so your overnight stays are taken care of.
