Scenic Hudson Winter Outing
January 18, 2010
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Banish cabin fever by letting your kids do something fun, free -- and good for them -- on their day off. Scenic Hudson will offer guided snowshoe treks as well as tips on building snow caves and igloos. Youngsters can create their own snow globes and learn how to make a fire the Native American way, all while enjoying hot beverages. In addition, this is your chance to skate on a secluded woodland pool and try out a Hammerhead Sled and Tubbs Snowshoes, courtesy of Mountain Tops Outdoors.
