Snowshoe Making Classes at the Ludington State Park
November
The Ludington State Park offers snowshoe making classes every winter.
Classes are held at the Warming Shelter (unless otherwise noted) and are limited to participants 16 years and older. Instructor guide you through the steps to making top-of-the-line traditional wooden snowshoes that will get you through the deep snowfalls, and will last for generations. The cost for making a pair of snowshoes is $180, which includes the pre-formed wooden frames, lacing, high quality bindings, personal instructions and lunch. When you are finished, you have snowshoes you can use throughout the winter, or give them away as a unique gift. During the warmer months, you can display them as a decoration. Snowshoeing is inexpensive and a great way to burn some calories while enjoying the outdoors.
