Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois

Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois is offering "Frosty Frolic" to all local families who want to experience winter camping together!

Families, couples and small groups are invited to bundle up and explore Camp Dean, 46W253 Camp Dean Road in Big Rock, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 16 (Presidents Day).

Activities will include sledding, cross country skiing, snowman building, and - pending ice thickness - ice fishing!

There also will be "Warm Up!" breaks throughout the day for hot chocolate. Even if the ground is dry, there will be plenty to do outside with exciting camping explorations.

For safety, cross country skiing will only be available to adults and children in second grade or up.

Cost is $10 per youth or $5 per adult. Registration is open and ends Wednesday, Feb. 4.

For more information or to register, visit www.girlscoutsni.org or contact Felecia Dupczak at (630) 897-1565, ext. 7161, or fdupczak@girlscoutsni.org.
