Coffee With Camps ☕️

The USA is chock full of winter camp activities for children, students, and campers that make memorable school vacations in the chilly weather. Here are a few of our favorite winter camps across America, from sea to shining sea:

-In New Hampshire, you can go to the Camp Minikani Winter Camp. This 4 day 3 night camp offers tons of activities for kids and families alike. There’s ice skating on the lake, snowshoeing through the woods, sledding down hills and trails of all levels, and plenty of indoor games like board games and puzzles if you need a break from the cold.

-Colorado has tons of winter camp options which offers camping in tents where everyone sleeps with an electric blanket.

1. WildQuest Winter Camp (NH)

The environmentally-focused WildQuest winter day camps at New Hampshire’s Prescott Farm offer kids aged 4-14 an exciting slate of activities to enjoy the wonders of winter weather: snowshoeing, s’mores, sledding, winter games, animal tracking, snow crafts, a frozen pond, maple sugaring, campfire stories, and much, much more!  Your child (or children) will enjoy a fun-filled week of outdoor play during February break while developing ecological awareness and nurturing their connection to nature.
