Orienteering & Moonlight Snowshoe Expedition

Experience a fun filled weekend of snowshoeing, orienteering and winter activities, in one of the most scenic woodland areas in Massachusetts. The Mohawk State Forest is nestled in the Northern Berkshires, surrounded by 6,000 acres of mountain ridges, deep gorges and tall old-growth trees. Play in and amongst a winter wonderland while snowshoeing by day and moonlight, we'll learn orienteering, history of the area, winter activities, leaving plenty of time to relax, enjoy and unwind.
