Winter Wonderland Snowshoeing (Mid-November - End of March)
- Step 1: Pick a program
- You can choose if you would like lunch for your class (pizza, celery & carrots, fruit) or just the snowshoe rentals and cocoa. All aspects of this program are free through a co-sponsorship from the BCRD & Galena Lodge
- Step 2: Pick your date
- Please email top three dates (must be a week day at least 2 weeks in advance) to info@galenalodge.com
- Step 3: Find transportation
- You must do this through the school district - unfortunately Galena can't help with this part
- Timing
- Arrive at Galena no earlier than 9 am - bus should drop kids off at the walkway under the large Galena Lodge sign and then park across the street in the pull out
- Receive snowshoes & optional paper scavenger hunt (designed by a 2nd grade class it is probably interesting for up to 5th graders. Galena can provide a sticker prize for each student if you want)
- Lunch & Cocoa at 11:30 am on the deck or lawn (kids should be dressed with lots of WARM layers as we don't have an indoor space for classes!)
- Leave by 2:30 pm at the latest
- Requirements
- Teacher must have at least 1 adult chaperone per 6 kids
- Teacher is responsible for organizing transportation, first aid kits, emergency response plan, chaperones, and curriculum.
- Teacher should be familiar with Galena snowshoe trails and have a plan for what trail they will walk, how they will split the group etc.
- Sledding is not recommended unless closely supervised. This tends to be the most dangerous place at Galena!
