International Summer Camp in Canada

 
 

The Dog Sledding base is located 43 kilometers from camp (45 minutes)

We will provide you with all the equipment and lessons you need; sled handling, breaking, snow anchor, how to handle turns, how to work with the dogs, when to help, when not to help etc.

We will ensure that everything is covered and nothing overlooked. We give you the chance to practice until all procedures are properly understood and you fell comfortable with them. When you’re ready, we give you your harness. The dogs have been selected according to your weight and personality. You’ll have a chance to get acquainted with our friendly dogs; after all, they will be your traveling 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 wooded trails. Sometimes you let the dogs gently pull you; sometimes you walk behind the sled to help them. You find yourself shrouded in the silence of a snow-covered forest. The trees pass by, snowflakes cover your face, and you take some deep breaths. You won’t want the experience to end.
