Trip Itinerary

Friday, October 25
Everyone in the travel group will arrive in Winnipeg at various points throughout the day. At 9pm the group will be introduced to our Interpretive Guide.

Saturday, October 26
We will start with an early breakfast at the hotel restaurant. After breakfast, we will all board a shuttle that will take us to our chartered flight to Churchill. We will arrive in Churchill by 9:30am, and we will make the most of that day! Upon arrival, we will immediately depart on the Churchill and Area Tour. I will get to sport my new winter outerwear as it is bound to be cold. Between our various photo shoots, we will stop at a local restaurant for lunch. The Eskimo Museum is next. It includes an introduction and time to peruse. After the museum, we will head to the Polar Inn for the evening's dinner.

Sunday, October 27
After our breakfast, we will see a film on the history, culture, and wildlife of the area by Parks Canada. There will be some more time to explore the exhibits before we break for lunch. We will then meet at the Wapusk General Store for our dog sled ride. We get some time to greet the team of dogs, hear stories, and learn dog handling philosophy from a local resident before our ride through the boreal forest. We will meet at the gift shop and board the Tundra Buggy for dinner and the next few days.

Monday, October 28 - Wednesday, October 30
These are full days on Tundra Buggy Adventures, probably the most exciting part of the trip. On Wednesday evening we depart Churchill for Winnipeg. We have a late arrival to the hotel.

Thursday, October 31
Today we depart Winnipeg for home.
