Thursday: The Magic of Snow

Campers will learn about the science of snowflakes through a fascinating demonstration before crafting their own paper snowflakes. In the afternoon, they'll conduct fun winter weather experiments with ice, salt, and water.

Friday:  Snow Fun and Cozy Creations

Campers will explore how cultures use traditional textiles like wool and fur to stay warm in the winter, and learn the traditional handicraft of knitting. The day will end with exciting physical activities inspired by the fun of playing in the snow.
