Snowshoeing

Explore the woods on top of the snow! An experienced adult should lead this activity. Upham staff will check equipment in and out, as well as provide a short orientation on proper snowshoe use, how to move effectively in snowshoes, and what to do after a fall. Students should come prepared with warm clothing. This activity is available only during winter months and may be cancelled due to inadequate snowfall.

Maximum Participants: 22 pairs of snowshoes available.

Accessibility notes: This class can go in any direction, which may traverse hills or other difficult terrain, but routes can be modified to the ability of the participants. Individuals may be able to borrow ski poles/hiking poles for extra balance support.
