Program Description:

Strap on your snowshoes and join Adventures Without Limits and other development professionals as we rest, relax, and reset from a busy Give!Guide Campaign Season.

If you are unsure if you can attend, please wait to register until you are sure you are available to allow space for all interested parties.

If you need to cancel your reservation, please contact AWL ASAP so we can open up your spot to another person.

New this year: We are offering 2 different snowshoeing trips to get as many nonprofit folks out in nature together as possible! Please pay attention to the date you select at check out. If the weather requires us to cancel/reschedule either trip date, the back-up date is March 5th.
