🌲 Winter Explorers: A Family Outdoor Program

Winter Explorers invites families to slow down, bundle up, and discover the magic of winter together. Through play, exploration, and shared experiences, families build confidence being outdoors in all kinds of winter weather.

Each week offers simple, hands-on ways to enjoy the season. From learning basic winter skills to playing, creating, and connecting in nature. This program is perfect for families new to winter play as well as those eager to deepen their outdoor experiences.

Birch and Bud also offers a gentle introduction to our Fox Program, supporting children as they grow in independence and confidence outdoors.

What Families Will Experience

  • Learn basic winter skills like shelter building and safe, family-friendly fires

  • Explore the forest by tracking animals and observing winter wildlife

  • Play and create through snow-based games and sensory activities
