A Real Working Farm

Weather, mud, and real outdoor conditions.

Sweet Grass Co. takes place on a real working rural Alberta farm. Animals and land responsibilities continue regardless of weather. Participants should expect long active outdoor days with physical movement, land-based work, and practical problem solving.

Plan to spend significant time outdoors. Come prepared for changing Alberta weather — rain, mud, wind, heat, cool mornings and evenings, and uneven terrain.

Animals do not wait for the sun to come out to be cared for.

Adaptability, responsibility, teamwork, and resilience in real conditions are part of the learning. Some activities may be relocated or adjusted for safety in severe weather when necessary.

Come prepared for
  • Rain
  • Mud
  • Wind
  • Heat
  • Cool mornings
  • Cool evenings
  • Uneven terrain
  • Outdoor work
  • Long active days
  • Physical movement

Participants must be able to walk, maneuver uneven terrain, and participate in physically active outdoor environments.

Grant-Ready Program Outcomes

A 5-day experiential leadership and life-skills program.

Sweet Grass Co. is designed to support confidence, communication, accountability, teamwork, problem-solving, self-awareness, resilience, and practical decision-making.

The program uses guided activities, rural skill-building, reflection, facilitated discussion, and structured group challenges to help participants practise leadership in real time.

Each activity is connected to measurable personal-development and employability skills, while the full learning process is kept private until participants are on-site.

The participant workbook is provided as a printed paper copy only during the program. This protects the integrity of the activities and ensures the learning is experienced as intended.

Participants will build skills in
  • Communication and active listening
  • Personal accountability and follow-through
  • Teamwork and cooperation
  • Problem-solving under pressure
  • Respectful leadership
  • Confidence and self-awareness
  • Planning, responsibility, and decision-making
  • Reflection, goal-setting, and personal growth
  • Community-minded service and contribution
