Overview:

Begin your adventure around our welcome fire sipping some tea from our land. Then join our guides on a night hike or snowshoe through old growth Wabanaki forest along a trail lit with torches to lead the way. During your walk, notice how the light dances along the forest floor and connect to your senses as you interact with natural elements. Back inside at the Ross Creek Centre for the Arts, tap into new inspiration and be guided through a collective and connected charcoal drawing activity using our house-made charcoal. Afterwards, savour a communal Raclette dinner with a mix of European and local ingredients, as you explore the stunning nighttime landscape, unleash your creativity, and bond with fellow adventurers. Suitable for adults and children alike.
