Multi-Day Adventures »

Winter Adventures - Multi-Day We offer multi-day winter camping adventures from the first explorers point of view. You will be given your own team of dogs to help care for. You will learn how to feed and snack them on the trail, how to rest them and then bed them down for the night. Your guide will prepare your meals over an open fire and assist you in setting up your tent, or if snow conditions allow, build quinzies to keep you warm through the long winter night.

Multi-Activity Adventures »

Multi-Activity Adventures Imagine beginning your adventure by leading a team of dogs down the trail as the first explorers once did.
At camp, enjoying a traditional campfire meal over a fire that you built using traditional firelighting techniques taught by your guide.
Then, use traditional snowshoes to travel through the pristine forests while you learn about the natural medicines of our native ancestors from your guide while tracking wolf and cougar.
