Our Program
Fifth and Sixth grade students participated in Snowshoeing during Physical Education class this year. We learned about the personal health and fitness benefits of outdoor winter activities (NYS Standard 1). We reviewed the different components of fitness associated with Snowshoeing such as Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance and Flexibility. Students learned about the parts of the Snowshoe (frame, webbing/deck, bindings and crampons). Safety expectations and considerations were reviewed and covered (NYS Standard 2). We learned about different equipment and gear that outdoor enthusiasts should always consider having with them in case of emergency (water, food, phone, map, compass, extra clothing, family or friends). Students also learned about other outdoor activities located throughout Central NY such as Skiing, Snowboarding, Tubing, Cross Country Skiing, Sledding, Ice Skating, etc (NYS Standard 3). There are many places right here in Oswego County to Snowshoe, please visit http://visitoswegocounty.com/the-great-outdoors/cross-country-skiing-snowshoeing/ for more information. Families can even check out guided Snowshoe tours via Oswego Expeditions.
