Winter Weekend at Wanakita Outdoor Centre February 22-24, 2008

If you like, visit the Wanakita web site . This site has a lot of helpful information, including maps and directions on how to get there!

Join us for some winter fun and excitement. Learn to cross-country ski (equipment and instruction by qualified staff is provided). A highlight of the weekend is a night ski across the frozen lake along a torch lit trail. Try running with snowshoes on. Fly down the hill on a toboggan or a mat. How about fishing through a hole in the ice. Build your own snow hut and sleep in it if you wish at no extra charge. Two ice rinks are available for a social game of broom ball or hockey. Bring your skates. Activities and adventures for children and teens are planned so that parents can do their thing. Dog sled rides may be available depending on conditions ($25 per ride per person; pay cash at centre). Alternately you can go for a walk in the snow or just read and relax by a wood fire.
Accommodation: Sleep in rustic, heated cabins on comfortable bunks with foam mattresses. Bring your own sleeping bag or bedding. Cabins are self-contained with toilets and showers.
Meals: The meals are great and are served in the dining hall. Service is family style, which means that table setting and clearing of dishes are your responsibility. We can accommodate special dietary needs. Please detail this on the registration form.	Weekend Rates: Rates include a bunk for 2 nights, five meals and two evening snacks. The only additional charge is for the optional dog sled rides.
