WinterCamp City Poznań 2015

In the winter of 2015, Poznań had quite an unusual attraction: WinterCamp City, a winter village with many attractions for adults and children.

What we liked most were the classes in the Winter Laboratory run by the Little Engineer team. There were experiments with smoking dry ice. The children really liked these workshops.

Fun fact: dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide at -78.5°C. It does not melt, but turns straight into gas. The white fog in the experiments comes from the water the dry ice is put into. Never touch dry ice with bare hands, because it can damage the skin like frostbite.

You could also screw a climbing hold into a block of ice, try the climbing wall or sit behind the wheel of a quad.

In a big heated tent there were also art classes - you could draw a picture, decorate an angel with glitter and build an igloo out of polystyrene blocks. During the children's art activities, the parents could enjoy a warm drink and taste freeze-dried meals (food for mountaineers) - some were pretty good.
