Weather, Cancellation and Delay Update
If you're visiting this page, there must be some kind of New England weather happening! This is where we will post any cancellations or delays - as soon as we have sufficient information.

Thursday - 3:00 pm: Unfortunately, due to this weird spring storm, Frank needs to cancel tomorrow's class.
The last day of Spring Homeschool will be extended until June 7.

FRIDAY, 2/16/2024 - WILDERNESS HOMESCHOOL

THURSDAY, 2/23/23 - WINTER SURVIVAL VACATION PROGRAM

----------------------------------
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2023 - WILDERNESS HOMESCHOOL CLASSES
Thursday @ 8:53 am: You've heard about the wind chill issue for tomorrow thru Saturday...and although the worst of the temperatures will be tomorrow night, we'd be starting @ 8 degrees with 17 mph winds and it just gets colder and windier.
So, we need to cancel Homeschool tomorrow. Personally, I feel (and told Frank) that if I had children attending, I'd want them to understand when it's not good to go outside, and tomorrow is not a good outside day, in my opinion 🙂
The last day of Winter Homeschool is now March 17!
----------------------------------

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2022 - WILDERNESS HOMESCHOOL CLASS
Thursday @ 10:54 am: As you've probably heard, the storm tomorrow could bring as much as 18" of wet snow to the Conway area...so...we are canceling 🙁

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2022 - WINTER OUTDOOR SKILLS ADVENTURE WEEKEND OF WORKSHOPS
3:43 pm Thursday, February 24: Well...Mother Nature has decided to bless us with a brand-new layer of snow for this Weekend of Workshops. Just the timing is off a bit (we need to be sure plowing is all set).

* Winter Shelter Building will begin @ 10 am (and go to 1 pm)
* WinterFire! will begin @ 2 pm (and go to 5 pm)
Sunday's Workshops, Emergency Prep+Ice Safety & Winter Tracking, will not be affected and will start at 9 and 12:30, respectively.
