Got cabin fever? The only cure is to get out and enjoy nature! Join us for a morning or afternoon of snowshoeing! Never done it? Don’t sweat it, Nancy McIntyre will teach you the basics of snowshoeing. Then Nancy and Jeanette will lead you on a guided winter hike through sections of Calvin’s cross country course.  We will search for animal tracks and signs, learn more about how plants and animals survive the winter and enjoy the snow.  At the end the program, we will enjoy cookies and hot chocolate by the fireplace. Snowshoes will be provided free of charge, thanks to the generosity of Wittebach Wege Agriscience & Environmental Education Center.
