Troop 293 Scouts will go winter camping and they will have the unique experience of sleeping outdoors in a quimze they've made themselves!   (Good time to pay attention to good construction techniques.)  Winter camping means staying active and North Wind will feature a great deal of activities for Scouts. These activities will include a variety of programs such as: Shelter building including quinzees, thermal shelters, polar domes, parachutes, and igloos. Cross country skiing, and snowshoeing. Winter cooking, making snow sculptures and snow snakes, ice fishing, astronomy in the winter sky and orienteering.

There will also be a variety of non-snow activities such as: Learning about winter nature, winter survival and building winter survival kits. First aid, ice crossing safety, building non-snow shelters, matchless fire building, compass games and GPS. And much more…
