Youth Activities
The Snow Goose Festival is packed with activities and events for nature enthusiasts of all ages, but some were actually created for the younger ages. Although youth are welcome to register for any of our paid events with a Youth option, we put together this listing of events that may be a good fit for younger participants and beginning birders.
For details, click on any event and it will link you to the complete daily listings for field trips, workshops and free events. If you then want to sign up for any of the events, click the yellow button at the top of any of the site pages and proceed to Online Registration.
Feel free to email us at info@snowgoosefestival.org or call (530) 345-1865 if you have any questions.
