Learn the fundamentals of winter survival with the Harris Center! We’ll guide beginners through essential winter skills, including fire building, water collecting, and crucial first aid — then put our knowledge to the test with a big hike up Mount Skatutakee. Bring your enthusiasm for the outdoors, and we’ll handle the rest. For ages 10 to 14.

Monday, February 23 to Wednesday, February 25, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Harris Center. Snow date: February 26.

Cost: $130 per person for Harris Center supporters / $160 for all others

Space is limited, and registration is required. Registration opens at 9 a.m. on Friday, January 2. Financial assistance is available.
