Description:

Behold the ice floes on the Eramosa River. Watch the season change before your eyes, feel the cold of the morning, watch the sun travel across the sky.

The March Meltdown is about being ready for anything: blizzards or flowers pushing up the the snow, or both!

Come to know your local rocky outcroppings, meadows, pine stands, hidden trails, bubbling springs, and hidden marshes. Light a fire, follow tracks, make a shelter, make a friend.

Signature GOS games, challenges, and responsive mentorship maintains a culture that makes room for awe and wonder, and time for timelessness. A full week designed for connection to self, others, and the natural world.
