Our unique annual academic challenge encourages outdoor physical activity, teamwork, and a passion for learning outdoors in winter.
Week 2 of the WinterKids Winter Games focused on the theme of precipitation. In spite of some of the lowest temps of the season, students bundled up and headed outdoors to gather data for their weather charts. This week’s activities focused on taking accurate measurements – be it temperatures, snowfall amounts, or the size of a snow angel!
This year’s program is buzzing with energy as schools across Maine participate in winter-themed activities designed to promote outdoor activity and community spirit. Over the next few weeks, we’ll share stories and images from these schools as they embrace outdoor education and learn how individual and collective actions impact our climate.
This was truly an inspiration to the kids, staff and families to embrace the winters here in Maine, more than they already have.
