This extensive, weekend long program is the perfect excuse to get outside, learn or improve new skills and make new friends. Take to the ice to learn how to ice fish or head to the woods and learn to survive, track game, or just go for a hike. Learn how to operate a snowmobile, cook with wild game on a campfire or even prepare yourself for the future with the Introductory curriculums provided by Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

NEW this year the weekend will culminate on Sunday with a longer session that goes more in-depth on a few outdoor winter activities!
