THE ROAD

SNOWSHOE WALK  & “HOT CHOCOLATE TOO AT CAMP GENEVA   $4/person

Explore the out-of-doors for signs of winter wildlife while walking in our Ojibwa-style snowshoes. Even on a cold winter day, the group should be able to find animal tracks, scat and signs.  The PROVIDED Ojibwa-style snowshoes are intended for people ages 8+ and are easy to use.  May bring own snowshoes.  Dress for the weather since most of the time will be spent outside.  Insufficient snow depth of less than 4” inches, the group will WANDER IN THE WOODS without snowshoes and still be a fun winter wildlife walk with Hot Chocolate and marshmallows served!
