Learning to Love Winter in Limestone

MSSM’s location in northeastern Aroostook county allows us a tremendous opportunity to worship the cold! Depending upon snow and weather conditions, we’ll learn about cold weather physiology and adaptation, snow-based transport like snowshoeing and Nordic skiing, cold weather shelter construction, nutrition in the cold- and more! Highlights last year included the building of snow “Quinzee”, the 2018 Duct-Tape Derby, building huge Snow Penguins in front of the dorm, skiing over to our “clubhouse” at Trafton Lake, traveling out to the wonderful trails at Aroostook Wildlife Refuge, and discovering how much fun can be had outside in a Limestone January.
