Program Features

The weekend will include cross-country skiing, ice skating (weather permitting), tobogganing and snow tubing. The camp will provide most of the equipment. The camp has snow shoes, cross country skis, ice skates, and toboggans. However, please bring any equipment that you may have (no hockey sticks please). Moms enjoy this activity just as much as dads. If there is no snow on the ground, the program will consist of parent/son log sawing, frisbee golf, BB range, archery, slow-pitch softball and hiking, or just enjoying a weekend with your son.
