Proudly Canadian

Big adventures begin with a little curiosity.

The Maple Explorers is a Canadian-designed learning platform that helps children and families explore our country through stories, challenges, and kid-friendly discoveries.

For parents and guardians

Built for curious kids. Managed by adults.

The Maple Explorers is an independently created Canadian educational project for families with children ages 5–9. Accounts are created and managed by a parent or guardian. Children do not need an email address, and the site does not provide public profiles, messaging, targeted advertising or child-facing social features.

How content is checked

Educational and travel information is researched using official Canadian government, park and destination sources. Sources are listed in each field guide where appropriate.

What an account does

A family account saves story progress, journals, puzzles and passport stamps. Email verification is required before activation.

What information is collected

The site uses an adult’s email address, an account name and saved progress. Parents should use an adult first name or family nickname rather than a child’s full name.

Keeping travel information current

Maple Explorers is educational and does not provide real-time safety advice. Families should check the linked official destination or park website before travelling.
