Outdoor activities include learning how to stay safe in winter, identifying wildlife tracks, understanding the subnivean layer, and exploring snow’s remarkable journey through snowshoeing. If conditions allow, families may also have the chance to examine fresh snowflakes, complete a forest scavenger hunt, and participate in fun, hands-on outdoor learning. The program aims to inspire youth to develop a lifelong connection with the winter environment and become stewards of the land. It is designed as a family-oriented program, and adults are encouraged to join their kids. Families are welcome to drop in or stay for the entire program.
