And just like that, November is done, on with December! On cue also is some pleasant light snow. Have you penciled in winter outdoor activities into your schedule-meetings at the local outdoor rink, tobogganing, snow fort building, snowshoeing, nordic skiing, winter camping? So much fun to be had in our glorious Canadian winter season! Have you wondered how to carpool everyone to a camp in cottage country, along up and down dirt roads that might only be salted and sanded, in the dark, in a snowstorm with people who have never been there? Have you wondered how to make sure all the cars start on Sunday after a weekend below zero? Looking for tips for cooking outdoors in winter conditions? Do you need a review of environmental hazards such as frost nip, frost bite, hypothermia, how to recognize signs and symptoms, prevention and treatment? Can you prepare your youth to be warm and comfortable all day outdoors, and even all night? Tips, Tricks, and sound information on all this, can be yours if you join us for our annual Winter Outdoor Skills course, at Apple Hill Scout Reserve, January 2-4, 2026. "you can do it, we can help".
