It's 2019 and things are off to a busy start here at Voyageur Outward Bound School! Thirteen courses have already started and/or wrapped up since the new year, with a busy winter season ahead of us. We have welcomed two new full-time staff to the crew, and have numerous new positions open for applications.

By the end of March, we will have completed 22 courses and witnessed numerous students having realized there is more in them than they know.

It is in these moments, that our hearts are truly full.
Wishing you and yours the best that 2019 has to offer!

Love from, your Voyageur Outward Bound Crew

Ever wonder what it's like to hear the call of the wolf in the dead of winter, on a crystal clear night, surrounded by a warm fire and some loveable sled dogs?

Join us on one of our 2019 winter dog sledding courses and experience it for yourself. We promise, it will be an experience you'll never forget!

How to Prepare Physically for a Dog Sledding Course

"Winter expeditions are hard, there’s no hiding that, but they are also incredible in many other ways. Picture magical sunrises and sunsets, breathtaking night skies, unconditional furry love, rosy cheeks and big smiles, welcoming campfires and unforgettable memories. And, I would venture to say, that the physical toughness of living in winter only makes all the rest that much sweeter. "
