Summer Itinerary
Adventure
Awaits!
Nestled in the northwest corner of Canada, the Yukon Territory
is a pristine and exotic destination to explore. Offering even the most discerning
traveler an experience unlike any other – making for a truly memorable
event. Groups heading to the Yukon can still expect all the big-city
amenities, with meeting facilities for up to 800 guests, coupled with truly
spectacular
scenery and of course those famous Northern Lights!
Adventure based activities such as whitewater rafting, sea kayaking or heli-hiking
will excite thrill seekers and provide unique twist to any meeting. The winter
season offers its own unique mix of activities sure to put a warm charge into
any meeting. Optional activities such as snowmobiling, dog mushing, and igloo
building provide the ultimate Yukon winter experience.
The Yukon is an exotic escape, full of adventure,
challenge and energy
Special Event or Team Building Themes
Wilderness Survival: Hire an experienced instructor
for an unforgettable teambuilding experience. Groups will
develop wilderness skills such as mountaineering, paddling
and leadership. In addition, delegates learn to deal with
the elements, catch their own food and build their own
shelter.
North of 60: Drive in a cavalcade
of 4x4s through the Yukon interior to cross the Arctic Circle
and reach the polar sea. Turn this adventure into a scavenger
hunt competition, with stops along the way for photographs
or a lakeside picnic lunch.
Go for the Gold: Dress in period
costume to recreate the days of the last great gold rush.
Complete the theme with entertainment from a vaudeville theatre
and can-can dancers. For an truly authentic Yukon experience,
host the event in one of Dawson City’s historic buildings
(80 per cent of which are original to the era).
First Nations: Request a First
Nations elder to officiate the opening of your meeting or
meal with a blessing followed by First Nations drummers and
dancers to entertain guests. For fun, groups can try their
hands at traditional games such as stick gambling and spear
throwing.
Adrenaline Rush: Take in the Yukon’s
vast wilderness from the seat of a helicopter. Feel the exhilarating
rush as you fly through the mountains of Kluane National
Park and land on a glacier for a day of hiking and a gourmet
picnic lunch. Or fly to the Tatshenshini and Alsek rivers—two
of the territory’s glacier-fed rivers—for some
of the best whitewater rafting in the world.
