Description
The Shelter Building Workshop is designed as an introduction to snow and emergency shelter construction, safe winter travel, and basic winter survival techniques. Outfitted with a variety of snowshoe styles, we'll travel through the snow-laden forests of the LUNA Project in search of a perfect shelter construction site. With our practical, hands-on approach to shelter construction you'll not only develop a potentially life-saving skill, you'll experience an incredible amount of fun in the process. What better way to return to your youth than to build a fort with your friends!
