Once again this winter, the Audubon Center of the North Woods invites you and your family to escape the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and join us for this exciting family adventure!
The activities that your family can participate in during your stay at the Audubon Center will range from active programs such as climbing wall and high ropes to educational programs such as raptors and winter survival to winter sports such as snowshoeing and dogsledding to quiet activities such as crafts and sleigh rides.
Why not celebrate the year end by spending time with your family in the north woods, and making memories that last a lifetime!
