We've been busy at Wanakita this winter with a mix of large and small groups of all ages!
The snow has been piling up and we've been having fun even in the chilly -30 degree weather last week!
Here are some of the things our staff and participants have been up to!
Broomball fun- slippery, hilarious, and great exercise!
A school group playing a big group game to keep warm!

Here are some of the things our staff and participants have been up to!
Lots of wind has been blowing the snow across the lake exposing the ice! Let's go skating!
A ski across the lake to the icefalls or Umbrella Island is always fun!
Some squirrel tracks in the snow during a winter ecology hike!
A school group playing a big group game to keep warm!
A beautiful sunrise on the lake! And the -30 degree temperatures that we faced!
Some of our great instructors, always ready to show our participants a great time- teaching, playing & exploring!

Last week we had our first group of Winter 2013 at Wanakita: New Years Family Camp!
Our staff welcomed, played with, and rang in the new year with some amazing families. All day and night people could be seen skiing, snowshoeing, playing broomball and hockey, playing family games indoors and having a great time!
We had a Medieval Times theme dinner which was a blast! There were princes and princesses, and even dragons and duels! The themed meal of ribs and chicken was a big hit too.
We also celebrated New Years, Greenland Style (at 9:00 pm) with a fun games carnival and new years celebration! There was lots of silliness and dancing, and fun had by all!
Until next time, here's a photo of a Koshlong Lake sunrise this week!
