Winter Adventure Day at The Science Zone

Families are invited to participate in the annual Winter Adventure Day at the Casper Mountain Biathlon Center again this year. This is an event that brings several Casper organizations together to engage and educate our community through a place-based approach. The public to attend this event will be on Saturday, April 9, from 9:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Casper Mountain Biathlon Center at McMurry Mountain Park.
 

The purpose of this event is to provide a fun community activity, to inspire family members of all ages to learn about our local environment, and to experience the many winter-based activities that are available in Casper. Participants will join educators from across Casper including the Biathlon Club, Central Wyoming Trails Alliance, National Ski Patrol, Nicolaysen Art Museum, AmeriCorps, Casper Mountain Science School, and the Science Zone in this outdoor family adventure.

Learning stations will be diverse and cover topics ranging from winter safety, nature trails, winter art, biathlon (skiing AND shooting), snowshoeing, and winter biking. There is something for everyone. There will be a campfire and hot chocolate and we're counting on snow!

Additionally, participating families can also enter a drawing for a prize.

 

“Parents often tell me they want to go play in the snow with their kids, but since they don’t know how to ski or snowshoe, they worry about the difficulty,” said BLM Education Technician Stacey Moore. “We’ve created a safe environment for families to try these winter sports and create lasting family memories. We want all families to feel included so we’re providing equipment, lessons, and activities for all ages.”
 

Come with little kids, come with big kids, or come with no kids! Participation is free, but equipment and lessons are limited to a first-come basis. Pre-registration is required to reserve equipment times and lessons. Any Covid guidelines that are in effect for the county will be in effect during this activity.
