The leaves have fallen and the air is getting crisp - and here at VOBS, we are THRILLED!
Winter means: dog sledding, frozen lakes, beautiful night skies, crackling fires, warm conversation and the start of the winter season.
As we prepare our minds, bodies and gear, we wish you all well during this splendid time of year!
Love from, Your Voyageur Outward Bound Crew
