Snow Shelter Workshop Details

The Snow Shelter Workshop is designed as an introduction to snow shelter construction, safe winter travel, and basic winter survival techniques. Outfitted with a variety of snowshoe styles, we'll travel across the frozen waterways and snow-laden forests of Northern Ontario's backcountry in search of a perfect snow shelter construction site. With our practical, hands-on approach to snow shelter construction you'll not only develop a potentially life-saving skill, you'll experience an incredible amount of fun in the process. What better way to return to your youth than to build a snow fort with your friends!
