Enjoy a unique and memorable Family Day this year, where all ages can learn, create, and explore together in a fun and supportive outdoor setting. Families will gain hands-on experience building snow shelters, brewing flavourful wild teas, practising hot-tent basics, and carving simple wooden utensils. A cozy hot tent equipped with a wood stove will serve as a warm gathering space for carving sessions and breaks between outdoor activities, ensuring everyone stays comfortable throughout the day. With plenty of opportunities to work together, try new skills, and embrace winter adventure, this experience offers a wonderful way for families to connect, learn, and make lasting memories in the outdoors.
