DINGMANS FERRY, PA — Even in the depths of winter, the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) has a series of entertainments planned. On Saturdays in January, starting with January 3, there will be cross- country skiing from 9 to 11 a.m., and on Sundays starting January 4, there will be cross-country skiing from 1 to 3 p.m. The cost is $20 per adult, $10 per child. In these beginner ski lessons, you will learn the basics of cross-country skiing and practice on an old logging road loop. You decide how many loops to ski. Skis, poles and boots are provided; register with your shoe size to be guaranteed a spot.
If you prefer inside activities, the Ecozone Discovery Room might be more to your taste. It will be open on Saturday, January 3 from 1 to 4 p.m., and costs $2 per person. Especially child friendly, the room provides opportunities to climb into a bald eagle’s nest, crawl into a bat cave and dig in a fossil pit. Explore this indoor discovery room and enjoy hands-on exhibits on natural history, sustainability and the local environment. No registration is required. Visit www.peec.org, email peec@peec.org or call 570/828-2319.
