The kids (and teachers!) enjoyed a wonderful day outdoors for our Festival du Voyageur adventure. Students were able to spend some time sledding, climbing the hills, checking out the snow sculptures, shopping in the souvenir shops and seeing all the sights and sounds that the Festival has to offer... and that was all during free time! During our first scheduled session, students learned about the modes of transportations that the Voyageurs utilized and then enjoyed a horse powered sleigh ride. For our second and final session we journeyed into the Maple Forest to learn about tapping the maple trees for sap, and enjoying maple syrup that they rolled in the snow. The weather was perfect, the little bit of snow made the event more festive, and the small dip in the temperature made the walks around the Fort solid rather than slushy, it was a great day enjoyed by all!
