What is Frostbite!
Frostbite is Canada's 1st winter gathering that brings together instructors and students to learn and explore the art of winter travel in the Canadian Bush. The instructors are both students and volunteers, but collectively represent some of the most respected names in outdoor education, bushcraft and wilderness survival in Canada.

What Happens at Frostbite!
Every year there are always a couple people that keep the fire burning for the rest of the participants. They are always ready with a warm drink, perhaps a snack and some conversation. But while they enjoy the fire, courses will occur indoors and outdoors. So don't worry about being bored, or tired of walking, there is always something to keep you busy.

Feedback from Frostbiters!
Frostbite was an amazing experience. It's like a summer camp for adults... in the winter! Courses were great but it's the people that made the event.

I enjoyed being able to walk around and interact with people in other seminars, getting to watch and learn even though I might not have been able to sign up for that particular course, it was always a casual and welcoming atmosphere everywhere I went

So much wisdom, willingness to share, camaraderie, and wool in one room😂

I went to frostbite on a whim and now I'm hooked. I look forward to it every new year. I always learn a lot and have the chance to talk with some great people.

Frostbite is where I can meet new and old faces of those who appreciate and value the outdoor life and all it has to offer. I like how people from diverse walks of life can come together and share and learn under a common interest.

Frostbite is just like a huge Reunion between Friends within the Northern Bushcraft Community. I'll always recommend to friends outside the community to come join us and take in the culture with hopes that they leave with good memories and a bit more knowledge with desire to return the following year.

Frostbite pushes me out of my comfort zone and introduces me to a world I'm not lucky enough to live in daily. My confidence in exploring the natural world has grown by leaps and bounds since my first Frostbite experience.
