(The Intricacies of Camping (Not available at this time)
With Sled Dogs)
Mushing 101 is excellent for beginners, children, or just about anyone who wants to learn about dog mushing. You will learn how we care for the dogs and how we get them ready to go for a run, then you can enjoy a dog sled ride or even take a turn at driving your own team.
After an initial training session, you will be asked to help hold dogs or sleds while we harness the teams. You may be expected to run your own team, which involves standing on the runners, watching the dogs, and braking when necessary. If there is a tangle, you may be asked to help hold the dogs while it is straightened out. You will be running on groomed trails.
The activities run 2-3 hours but tell us your schedule and we'll be happy to accommodate you. Please dress warmly as you will be outside for the whole time, regardless of weather. We also provide a traditional Northern snack and hot chocolate.
2 to 3 hours - $100 / person Maximum 6 participants
Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult at a minimum ratio of 1 adult for every 2 children.
Our Overnight Camp is perfect for those who want to experience a day in the life of a wilderness bush camp! The day includes dogsledding, ice fishing and much more.
At the beginning of the day we drive (by snowmobile) out to our camp. At camp there is a cozy woodstove heated wall tent, where guests can go inside and warm up throughout the day.
In the tent will be an abundant supply of hot chocolate, herbal tea and "unbelievable" fish stories.
Our guests will have the opportunity to try many exciting activities. First we
take you out onto the open ice where we drill some holes and drop some lines.
While we're waiting for the fish to bite we will teach the basics of dog mushing, then go for a dogsled ride or you can even try driving your own team of dogs.
During the course of the day we will show you how to run a functional wilderness bush camp, including how to put up a canvas wall tent, and how to get water and gather firewood.
We provide a traditional hearty lunch of caribou stew (depending on availability) and homemade bread, and maybe even fresh caught fish. We also provide snacks throughout the day.
The day begins at 10 am and ends at approximately 5 pm. It is a long day, so please dress warmly.
