Cypress Hills Provincial Park

Winter Activity Day

Come out to the Cypress Hills (Elkwater) and take over the Learning Center this winter with a combination of self-led and guided activities.  We will help plan a day of winter activities and facilitate the day.  Consider it as well for students looking for an alternative to downhill skiing at Hidden Valley but want to come on the trip.  Activities could include:

  • tobogganing on our sledding hill (sleds and helmets provided)
  • roasting marshmallows and hotdogs at our fire pit
  • heading out onto local trails with snowshoes
  • participating in a cross-country ski lesson on the Learning Center grounds
  • indoor activities like wood burning, track casting
  • shelter building and fire lighting
  • visiting the visitor center to view the exhibits

If you'd prefer to go it alone and just book the Learning Center for you and your class, feel free to contact us - we don't mind!
