With cold temperatures forecasted and snow on the ground, the Mission’s Downeast campus is ready for skating, snowshoeing, and winter fun. Every Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the community is invited to participate in various winter activities at the Weald Bethel Community Center (down the lane from the EdGE Center).
Skates, helmets, and snowshoes are available for use on the Mission’s skating rink and trails, or you can bring your own to use. These weekly, family-friendly sessions are a perfect time to learn how to skate or snowshoe, or just have fun on the weekend. There are also indoor activities, perfect for warming up on a chilly day. Lunch, drinks, and snacks are also available.
“We are happy to have a positive place for families to stop in and have a good time together,” EdGE Primary Program Director Isaac Marnik says. “We are excited to be able to offer these sessions to the whole community.”
Winter activities will continue if the weather permits, and the ice rink stays frozen, which is usually through the end of February. To find out if activities are happening that weekend, contact the Downeast campus at (207) 546-4466.
