Join Wander Wisconsin in the snowy outdoors!  Wander with us just a few hours north of Madison to the Central Wisconsin Environmental Station, a year round camp facility nestled on a hillside overlooking beautiful Sunset Lake.  Our days will be filled with nature hikes, crafts and new experiences.  Wander Wisconsin and CWES staff will guide environmentally based activities such as Survival of the Fittest and Winter Severity.  Enjoy learning to snowshoe around the CWES campus while taking in the snowy sights.  Discover the animals that are equipped to handle our Wisconsin winters, and where they spend the snowy season.  On Thursday, visit nearby Wisconsin Lions Camp, just north of Stevens Point, to cross-country ski on their 400 acre private campus.  In the evenings, enjoy hot chocolate, a snowman parade and an outdoor winter campfire!  Then on Friday, get ready to head out on a Clue Hike led by our Junior Leaders!
