Family Nature School is a half-day program that runs every two weeks for families to get out and play and learn together in the woods at Circle R Ranch. Each day includes a check-in, a focused lesson, as well as time to hike, play and explore the land. Survival and homesteading skills will be shared and practiced. Families are asked to commit to the entire series. Appropriate for all ages. Maximum of eight families per group.
Activities include:
- Skiing/Snowshoeing
- Maple Syrup making
- Tracking
