I think this is called ‘happy camper’ and there is a light version where you just learn basics so you can go travel off station.

- foobarbecue 4y agoRight. So when I first went (2010-11), everybody going to mcmurdo had to sleep out on sea ice one night (and it was called "happy camper" or "snow school"). They gradually scaled back the program; added lesser versions and made it so your group had to request it. Maybe meanings of "snow school" and "happy camper" diverged at some point.
