Workshops:
Winter Kitchen/Fire Building
Learn how to turn your outdoor winter surroundings into working
kitchen. We’ll show you how to build a fire in the snow, and how to engineer
yourself a way to keep food from freezing and many more neat tricks.
Winter Tips and Tricks
Ever want to go on a winter adventure and find yourself saying,
“It’s too cold”? Learn how your winter clothing can be your ticket to
outdoor survival. We will show you things about clothing you never knew, and
you can enjoy your outdoor adventures so much more.
Cross-country Skiing
Have you ever gone cross-country skiing before? You should
definitely try it; our skiing session is for all levels of skiers. Learn how
skiing is a great way to winter travel, and some tricks to help you enjoy it
more.
The Adventure That’s a Great Exercise
Snow shoeing is one of the oldest methods of winter travel. Try
your hand at this method of travel and understand why it is so popular. Take
a hike and access places you would normally not go, and enjoy the beauties
that winter nature has to offer.
*If the conditions are not suitable for the cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing, alternate activities
of either ice-skating on the lake, or a winter hiking will take place. (Your
own skates are needed)
An Excursion for Forest Edibles
We will learn what edible plants there are in the Acadian
forest. Find out when and where you might find a snack or a plant that might
save you from starving!
Let’s Track the Beast!
Well, we might not exactly have a Sasquatch to track, but take it
from a tracking professional, there are lots of interesting animals you can
track in your own back yard and beyond. . Learn about winter tracking
techniques, scat and browse. Animal tracks may include snowshoe hare,
coyote, fox, birds, mice, squirrels and much more!
