Stick Snowshoe Discovery and Sausage Roast

March 29, 11am till you go home

This has been an incredibly long cold winter, (the coldest in 35 years!); therefore making snowshoes at this time of year is still appropriate. The snow is deep in the bush, so knowing how to make a quick pair of snowshoes could be a life or death situation. We will discover this process, by putting our collective skills together to create functional snowshoes.

Its also fun to wear your own eclectic pair of snowshoes! You will go home with a pair of bush-worthy snowshoes.

Lunch will be sausages roasted over a fire.
