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.
