Northern Outdoors Club


After School Enrichment / Washington Elementary -
Winter 2025

Northern Outdoors Club owner, Cassie Janke, will teach students about outdoor education, recreation & safety here at Washington Elementary. It is imperative that your child brings all warm weather gear (snowpants, coat, hat, gloves, boots, warm socks) to enjoy this outdoor class. It's highly recommended that you send your child with an extra set of hat, gloves, and socks in case their original ones get wet at recess. 

Dates/Classes

Wednesday, January 22: Snowshoeing Adventures ***snowshoes provided***

Learn and have fun Snowshoeing! We will quickly learn about the basics of how snowshoes work, size everybody up & have an absolute blast stumbling along the way while we learn how to walk again! After we mastered walking, try your luck at a snowshoe race and some fun games! Location: Outside - ALL outside warm winter gear needed!

***weather permitting- we may adjust the program due to snow conditions if needed.


Wednesday, March 12: Keeping Warm

Learn and practice the skills needed to survive in the cold outdoor Minnesota Winter! Run a science experiment to avoid heat loss by thinking like a MN animal during this awesome interactive class! ALL OUTDOOR GEAR NEEDED!

Location: Quick Inside space for start and end of program- the rest will be outside at Washington. 


Wednesday, April 9: Nature's Candy 

Learn and practice the methods involved in tapping trees for syrup sap. Identify which trees are needed to make syrup, learn where sap comes from, the process it goes through to become syrup, then compare store bought syrups to syrup made right in the Northland!
