This year was perfect to test out the snowshoes. We had to bundle up as it was cold, some days -27 degrees Celsius. The scenery was fantastic as we moved through the woods. Don't you love winter!

Fall Activities

Winter Activities

Spring Activities
​October 2015
Staying healthy requires giving yourself time to experience the outdoors, sharing with others and learning to plan how you want to do it.
In this course students plan and share the experience of creating activities, while building a healthy mind, body and spirit.
February 2016
Mother Nature hindered winter activities such as cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and winter camping. Regardless, in February, we did go sliding and students enjoyed a mock winter camping trip learning how to make a quinzhee (snow hut) and how to build a winter campfire. All started well but rain forced our “s’mores” cooking into the cafeteria. Still delicious!
