The 14th Annual Winter Camping Symposium will be held Oct. 25-28 at  Pinewoods Retreat at Camp Miller near Sturgeon Lake.  The event will include workshops and displays, plus live music.

“We’ve got heated tents, winter hammocks, quinzhee huts, yurts, anoraks, snowshoes, skis, and plenty of other cold weather gear to try,” said organizer Kevin Kinney of Duluth. “Learn to make your own equipment. Hone your travel and camp skills with the help of world class guides. Enjoy tales of incredible trips, then dream up your own. Join us for dancing and merriment after dark, or sit quietly in the pines and watch the camp fire flicker. On site camping, cabins, dining, and a fully staffed YMCA Kids weekend for the little ones. There’s no greater gathering of cold weather knowledge, wisdom, and character than ours.”
