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

The Yukon is a wilderness 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.
