Weekly themes include snow science, snowshoeing and forest ecology, life beneath the snow pack, whitetail deer habits and habitats, winter survival (shelter and fire building), and wildlife tracking. Led by instructors from Bryant Pond 4-H, each week will blend outdoor activity with fun, hands on learning opportunities.
