The cost for making a pair of snowshoes is $180 and includes the pre-formed wooden frames, lacing, high-quality bindings and personal instruction. Classes are designed to be fun, informative and interesting. Because this is an activity that requires concentration over long periods of time, it is suggested for ages 16 and older.
These hand-made snowshoes can be used for hiking throughout the winter, given as holiday gifts, or used as a decoration in your home. Snowshoeing is an easy, inexpensive way to get outside and burn some calories during the winter months.
All classes are held at the Ludington State Park’s Warming Shelter. The park is located at 8800 West M-116 in Ludington. Note that the Oct. 28 and 29 is one class split over two days.
Classes are scheduled for:
- Oct. 28, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. (Part 1)
- Oct. 29, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Part 2)
- Nov. 6, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (All day class)
- Dec. 4, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (All day class)
- Dec. 18, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (All day class)
