The lack of snow in the Kane Valley didn’t stop the 18 participants who signed up for PacificSport Interior’s one-day winter XploreSportZ camp on February 20 from having a great time outside.

Instead of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, the youngsters did a forestry walk with Ministry of Forests biologist/forestry technician Jordan Carbery, learned all about wilderness survival from Jack and Lynne Broekhuizen of Nicola Valley Search and Rescue and carried out a huge nature scavenger hunt.

Look for more coverage of the XploreSportz winter session in an upcoming issue of the Merritt Herald.
