A unique opportunity – Dog Sledding in Canada
If you are looking for the opportunity to do something completely different and get off the beaten track then Traditional Dog Sledding in Canada with Real Gap could be the answer.
Recent reports by the NHS highlight that there are approximately 24 million overweight or obese people in the UK today and if this trend continues, one in four people will be obese by 2010. Take this unique opportunity to get some serious exercise, live the ‘healthy outdoor life’ for a few weeks and have a life-changing experience at the same time.
Mush your own team of huskies through the spectacular scenery of Wild Canada in winter. Not only will you learn to manage your own dog sled and team of huskies, but you will also be taught wilderness first aid, survival and rescue skills. You will have the opportunity to sleep under the stars and see the spectacular Northern Lights!
The programme is situated in Algonquin Provincial Park, Central Ontario, providing stunning scenery and a home to many native animals such as beavers, moose, wolves and bears. The wilderness is your classroom and you will learn in five stages: Dog Sled supported Snowshoe Expedition, Wilderness First Aid Certification Course, Ice Rescue and Cold Water Immersion Course, Solo Quest and Solo Dog Sledding Expedition.
