Animal Tracking

Head outside on either a trail or we will make our own trail in the woods and learn how to walk on snowshoes, how they work and play some tag with them on.
Cross Country Skiing

Head out for a morning or afternoon of cross country skiing on a groomed trail. Depending on the levels of your students we may teach them how to skate ski. Students will make observations along the way and we will stop and learn as we go.
Snow Science/Avalanche Safety

Collect and observe snowflakes to learn about their chemistry, how they form, and some classifications for them.

Make a snow shelter if there is enough snow.
