First Grade Snowshoeing

Student Reporter: Trevor Bublitz


On February 17th and February 26th the first grade students of Cedar Grove-Belgium elementary school were given the opportunity to go snowshoeing. Volunteers from Camp Y-Koda came to demonstrate how the snowshoes work and how to walk up and down hills. They also told the kids the parts of the snowshoe and where they originated from. The people from Camp Y-Koda also talked about winter traveling and how snowshoes have changed from the 1920’s to the current snow shoes.


Since there was a limit on how many snowshoes Camp-Y Koda had, Mrs. Sass and Mrs. Egan’s classes went on February 17th while Mrs. Loose and Mrs. Claerbaut’s classes went on February 26th. With snowshoes strapped and jackets zipped, students explored the area around the soccer field for approximately one hour. Afterwards, they all came indoors to enjoy hot chocolate and a muffin.
