Where Adventure Meets the Sky: Yukon
- Get immersed in the continental history of the Klondike Gold Rush
- Learn about food production and food security in the North
- Participate in snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and dog sledding
- Witness the Northern Lights (if lucky)
- Spend time learning about the significant history and current work of indigenous communities in the North
The Yukon in winter and spring is a stunning blend of icy beauty and emerging vitality. Winter transforms the landscape into a snowy wonderland, perfect for dog sledding, snowshoeing, and skiing, while the Northern Lights paint the sky in vivid colours. As spring arrives, the thawing landscape reveals rivers, budding forests, and vibrant wildlife. It’s the ideal time for hiking, wildlife watching, and experiencing the region’s rich history, from the Klondike Gold Rush to the importance of Indigenous cultures. Whether you’re drawn to winter adventures or the awakening of spring, the Yukon offers a unique and unforgettable experience in every season.
Dates: March, April, May, June
With long dark winters, programming in the Yukon needs to be carefully considered. Our programs typically occur as the days are getting longer and the sun is up in the sky more often. If you are looking for a deep winter program please reach out and we can adjust accordingly.
Length: 5 to 9 days in the Yukon
Flying in and out of Whitehorse allows for the most flexibility in arrival and departure timing. With five days, a quick trip to the Territory will allow for an immersion in the Whitehorse and surrounding area. A longer timeframe will allow us to explore more distant reaches of the Yukon such as visiting some of the surround communities and stunning parks and protected areas.
Cost Considerations
Flights into the North are expensive, with many options connecting through Vancouver. Once in the Yukon (and outside of the main tourist seasons) pricing is slightly more expensive than other Canadian cities.
Add-ons for specific activity requests will increase pricing as there are many offerings for adventure and experiential activities in the Yukon.

We want to speak with you. All our programs are custom designed from the locations, lessons, instructor suitability, risk management, to the timing and cost. It is what we do best, make the experience exactly what you want.
People You Can Trust In The Places You Don't Know

Straight Talk On Service Learning
Are you looking at adding a service learning experience into your program model?
We understand the importance of engaging students with communities through action. The problem with typical service learning is that it can create an incredible power imbalance between the host community and the visitors - often causing more harm than good. We are dedicated to changing the way service learning is thought of, planned for, and engaged in. We believe in learning service and interdependence, small changes in language that has a giant change in values and impact. Ask us more about how we are working to change the typical approach to service.
Programs Designed For Growth
Sharing in the experience adds an important layer to the design of all our Global Learning Programs. We ask every program to share their experience through blogs, video highlights and photo albums. We consolidate and transfer learning through real time engagement.
