This off grid experience is for women who want to actively participate in every aspect of dog sledding. The highlight is learning to run a small team of sled dogs on miles and miles of beautiful trails in the remote wilderness of northern Minnesota. At Points Unknown, we offer step by step instruction with an atmosphere of encouragement, support and teamwork. A lot goes into an off-grid, solar-powered lifestyle with sled dogs in a remote location and you will get to experience many aspects of it during your stay.

In addition, if you have any energy left, there are other activities available to you that include snow shoeing and cross-country skiing. (Please bring your own snowshoes and/or skies.) We want each participant to receive the maximum amount of hands-on experience and one-one instruction. This adventure is limited to SIX participants.
