    Two-hour tour with a friendly dog team — includes bannock and tea, storytelling about Indigenous traditions.

    Sledding around Kam Lake was an incredible experience. The dogs were friendly, well-trained, and enthusiastic about pulling the sled. The log cabin provided a cozy atmosphere where we savored bannock and warm drinks while hearing Winter’s father's tales of trapping and hunting. The entire adventure felt wonderfully relaxing.OnAir01961159446
