Knowing how to handle an unplanned event in all seasons is a crucial skill to have whether you are going for a quick snowshoe or winter camping. This workshop will cover different types of winter shelters and their construction. The second half of the workshop will cover common winter first aid events and their treatment in the field.

This program is geared towards home school students ages 6 – 17. While parents are not obligated to participate in these workshops, a parental representative must be present for students. Parents and younger siblings are also welcome to stay for the duration of the workshop free of charge. We ask that paid participants be given the space to fully engage and participate in the program.

We run our programs rain or shine and encourage parents/students to check the weather on the day of the workshop and dress accordingly. We suggest wearing layers, as well as long pants and closed toed shoes.
