Embrace the winter season with your family at an adventure series with the Outdoor Recreation School! Each month you’ll explore a new recreation skill while spending time in nature with your family. Activities may include snowshoeing, kicksledding, cross-country skiing, geocaching and fire building. Activities are subject to change based on snow conditions. $18/person.

Join the Outdoor Recreation School to explore the park on a Scandinavian-style kicksled and enjoy the wonders of winter around you. If snow/ice conditions don’t allow for kicksledding, we will go on a winter hike instead. $6/person.

Explore the Park District and stay active all winter long! Join Outdoor Recreation School instructors to check out a different trail each week using whatever equipment the conditions warrant – Nordic walking poles, traction devices, snowshoes and/or kicksleds. Build community with others who enjoy winter hiking and learn a little about dressing for winter activities and navigating trails. Expect variable trail conditions. Locations subject to change – an updated schedule will be provided to registered participants. $110/13 sessions.

Join a naturalist and art instructor to spend two days exploring the winter wonders of the park and making nature-based artwork along the way. Activities will include some of our favorite winter and outdoor skills, including fire building, shelters, nature play, hiking and kicksledding. We will be inspired by what we see and learn about the outdoors to create art using a variety of natural materials and processes. $130/person.
