Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing is easy, and it is great fun too. We will teach winter campers how to snowshoe and then take them on guided nature hikes along the Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA Trail System. We have miles and miles of trails through our 1,350 acres of forests, and along the way we will stop and explore the forest floor - learning tracking, for a better understanding of behavior patterns of the mammals in our forest. We will also learn tree identification techniques, and be able to identify every tree at Becket-Chimney Corners by sight - even without the leaves!

Snowshoeing is the best way to get around camp in winter. And we're not talking those old fashioned tennis racquet snowshoes! Our snowshoes are brand new Tubbs snowshoes.
