Guided Snowshoe Hikes

  • Monday, January 16, 2023, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
  • Saturday, January 21, 2023, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
  • Friday, January 27, 2023, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Friday, January 27th at 6:00 p.m.

Embark on a snowshoe hike under the first quarter moon (half moon) through the woodlands with us! We will go over the basics of snowshoes then head out to the trails using headlamps and the half moon to guide our journey! If there is not enough snow to use snowshoes, we will go outside for a moonlight winter hike and learn about winter ecology. There is no additional fee to use the facility's snowshoes.

Remember to wear winter boots or winter shoes that are flat, so they can easily be strapped in! Since CNY's weather is unpredictable this time of year, if there is not enough snow to snowshoe, we will go outside for a winter hike and learn about winter ecology

Fee

$4 per person, up to $12 per family, and children under 3 are free!

Philosophy

The best way to learn about ecology is to be out in it! Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center is a laboratory where youth and adults can observe nature first hand, alone or under the guidance of one of the Center’s Environmental Educators. Public programs often feature guest presenters who are recognized leaders in the fields of wildlife management, outdoor education, and botany. It is also the Center’s belief that learning should be fun.
