Winter Outdoor Fun Day

Winter Outdoor Fun for families with young children. Snowshoe, explore woods, warm up at the bonfire, enjoy snow games. This will be KOO’s twelfth Winter Fun Day!

• Activities are primarily for children birth to eight, with their parents/ other caregivers. Older siblings are very welcome too.
• No charge.
• Parents, you are with your children at all times.
• Families come and go as you wish.
• We are outside all the time, so dress for the weather that day. The cabin will not be open.
• Bring your own water and snacks.
• Accessibility: trail is packed snow, suitable for snowshoes, sleds, walking in boots. Location is knee deep snow.

All activities are non-motorized.
You can bring your own snowshoes, or Headwaters Land Conservancy will be there with loaners for kids and adults. Thanks, HWLC!

Activities will include…
• Nature hikes & exploring. Trail loops are marked in the woods – your family can head out on your own or go out with others. What will you discover?
• Sled rides on the trails (parents pull!). Bring your sled or borrow one of ours.
• We will have a bonfire! We’ll mark spaces so that groups can keep a social distance.
• Snow Mazes & Snow Angels
• Digging!
• Drawing for outdoor prizes. You must be present; it will be at noon.
• Make-it projects- they will be ‘Take-it and Make-it’ for your family to take and do at home.

Important: COVID precautions will be in place:
• Keep six feet of distance between your family group and others.
• Because we’re outside, risk is lower, but wear a face mask if it’s necessary to get closer to someone not in your family group.
• We’ll have a hand sanitizing station for you to use as needed.

Parking will be behind the Gaylord Middle School. Follow the KOO Winter Fun signs.
No porta-john this year.
