CANCELLED Pop-Up Event: How to Not Become a Popsicle

There is a chill in the air and beautifully shaped snowflakes are all about you. You've aniticipated this and wonder if you are ready to take in and experience all that Winter has to offer. Well, here is an opportunity to gain the insights, knowledge, and confidence to truly enjoy Winter to the fullest!

Joe Triebsch and Megan Caplan will lead an interactive presentation nestled in the beautiful classroom at Buffalo Creek surrounded by nature. You will learn about how to stay comfortable and warm on those days where popsicles don't melt. Joe and Megan will touch on what skills, gear, and clothing will allow you to take a leisurely bird watching stroll to a brisk neighborhood walk or to venturing further afield to either hike or snowshoe on the trails at Audubon.

Joe has been exploring the outdoors since his childhood years spent at the family cottage near Pymatuning Lake. He joined the Explorers Club of Pittsburgh in the 70s and expanded his interests in earth sports including rock climbing and paddling. He has taken the opportunity to hike, backpack, ski, and climb in numerous places across the United States as well as several hikes in the Alps. His outdoor explorations, leadership, and sharing of his knowledge continue to this day - he looks forward to introducing people to the opportunities that abound in Penn's Woods!

Megan is a guide for the Women's Adventure Club where she has led many hiking, snowshoeing, and rail-trail cycling trips. She has also taught various outdoor themed classes. Recently she took up (and fell down) cross-country skiing. One of the main reasons Megan enjoys time outdoors is because of the positive impact it has on mental health.

This program is designed for ages 13 and older and will be held indoors. Registration required.
