If there’s snow, you can don a pair of snowshoes and embark on a winter walk through the woods, as well as take on our sledding hill. Bring your own snowshoes and sleds or borrow one of ours!
Non-weather-dependent activities include winter birding, winter-themed arts and crafts, and cozying up to the campfire while enjoying yummy s’mores. A light meal will be available for purchase in the Dining Hall.
