JCI Adventure - ARCTIC EDITION


Event Description

Do you want to really challenge yourself and gain personal development outside of board meeetings, conventions and contests?

Perhaps you already challenged yourself climbing Kilimanjaro with JCI Adventure?

Come with us when we travel to Kiruna for an 6 day challenge and a once in a lifetime opportunity to drive a husky sled all by yourself from hut to hut. Daydream of being in the Sirius Snow Patrol, as you fly across the arctic with wind in your hair and 4-6 happy huskies following your command.
Along with experienced trainers and professional helpers, you will lead your own team of huskies across the arctic:
Wild and untouched nature, live the daily life of the people living in the last true wilderness in europe and maybe encounter amazing wildlife, and hopefully, the opportunity for Northern lights (aurora borealis). You will learn how to care for the huskies and In the evening, we will socialize around the camp fire with hot drinks or perhaps, a visit to the sauna. Along the way there will be options of snowmobiling, cross country skiing or snow shoes.

The Full Price is 12500 dkk; include tour, transfer from airport full board along the tour
