This STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics) based day will have campers exploring the science behind snow and ice. Campers will conduct frosty experiments and tie dye an item of their choosing

WEDNESDAY MARCH 12 – WINTER WILDLIFE

Campers will become a nature detective and use their clue-finding skills to look for life in the forest, discover how some animals adapt and behave in the winter weather. They will also learn how climate change is impacting our many animal friends.

Step back in time and explore the history of the village of Glen Elgin. Campers will learn how our ancestors lived in the winter by making bannock bread, working at the blacksmith shop and exploring our heritage buildings.

FRIDAY MARCH 14 – WINTER SURVIVAL

Do you have what it takes to blaze our trails in snowshoes and survive winter in Ontario? Campers will build winter fires and shelters, learn how to navigate a map and try out some archery to hone in on their survival skills.
