Description

Learn how to build a quinzhee, a snow shelter offering protection from the winter elements.  We will learn techniques of construction and work together to build a giant snow pile.  As the snow settles and binds, we'll enjoy lunch and explore aproaches that animals use to survive the cold.  THEN, we'll complete our quinzhee and enjoy a steaming cup of cocoa while inside our new structure.  Bring a sack lunch, snow shovel, and dress in layers for indoor/outdoor settings.

Saturday, January 18, 10am-2:30pm at Discovery Center. $12 ($9 member); $25 family ($20 member family).
