International Summer Camp in Canada

 
Dog Sledding Excursion

Dog Sledding base is situated 43 kilometers form ski hill ( 45 minutes)

Once there you’ll prepare for your adventure in the warm atmosphere of an authentic log cabin.

Then the training starts. We will present you with all the equipment and lessons you’ll need; sled handling, breaks, snow anchor, how to take turns, how to work with the dogs, when to help, when not to help. We will ensures that everything is covered and nothing is overlooked. We give you a chance to practice until all the procedures are well understood and you’re comfortable. When you’re ready, we give you your harnessing. The dogs have been chosen according to your weight and personality. You’ll have a chance to get acquainted with our friendly dogs; after all, they will be your travel companions.

You’ll know that the adventure is about to begin because the dogs can barely contain their excitement. The guide will go first. Then comes your turn. You remove the snow anchor, loosen the brake and hop; the dogs pull the sled and lead you through the wooden trails. Sometimes you let the dogs gently pull you; sometimes you walk behind the sled to help them. You get shrouded in the silence of a snow-covered forest. The trees pass by, snowflakes cover your face, and you take deep breaths. You won’t want the experience to end.
