Start Date: January 11, 2026
Start Time: 12:00 am
All Day Event? Yes

Join Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center's educator on Sunday, February 22nd, 2026, from 3:00pm to 4:30pm to learn about and go snowshoeing.  Participants will begin indoors before heading outside.  They will learn how snowshoes came into use and watch a demo on how to put them on and take them off.  Once outside, assistance can be provided in the strapping on of snowshoes.  Participants will then receive a few tips on how best to move about in their snowshoes before setting off on a guided exploration through the winter woods.  Already own snowshoes?  Not a problem!  Participants are welcome to bring their own.  


We ask that participants please wear hiking or outdoor boots that can handle snow and dress appropriately for the weather. Sneakers and fashion boots with heels do not fit in the snowshoe straps, making walking difficult. 


The program fee is $4 per person and up to $12 per family, whether one chooses to borrow snowshoes or bring your own. Children three years old and under are free.  Advanced registration is encouraged, as space is limited.  This program is designed for individuals or families, not organized groups. To arrange a group program, call the Oswego County 4-H Program at (315)963-7286.
