Winter Break Snowshoe Hike

  • Friday, February 21, 2025, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

This guided hike will take you through the Center’s scenic winter trails, where you'll learn about local wildlife, winter ecology, and the environment. This is a perfect experience for kids to explore the beauty of nature in winter, while staying active and engaged. 

Snowshoes are provided, so all you need is a sense of adventure and warm clothes. This fun, beginner-friendly adventure is perfect for all ages. 

Educators ask everyone who is attending to please dress appropriately for whatever the weather may be. Wearing winter boots or winter shoes that are flat are recommended so they can easily be strapped in.

The recommended age for these programs is 5+. All youth must be accompanied by an adult.

Fee

$4 per person, or $12 for a family. Children under the age of three 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.
