Dog Sledding Clinic - This is an experience for our most adventurous guests, participants will learn the basics of driving a dog team and then do it (at musher discretion based on age and physical ability). Participants can be in control of their own team while “chasing” our experienced mushers down beautiful, snowy terrain. Clinics last ½ a day and are offered at 9:00am or 1:00pm. The cost of this unique experience is $475 per couple (a minimum of 2 participants are need, we can accommodate a maximum of 6, groups of 5-6 receive a discount and the cost is $220 per person).

Time structures of the Dogsled Clinic vary widely, the mushers will individualize the structure and independent driving time on guest interest and ability levels. The clinic will last approx. 3-4 hours and consist of musher demonstration/education, ride time and individual guest dog sled drive time.
