Dog Sledding Summer Camp

Join us on an excursion where you will learn about Alaska’s official state sport with a trip to Dog Sledding Summer Camp. Your adventure begins on the breathtaking drive along Gastineau Channel, through the historic AJ Gold Mine site and into the remote and scenic Sheep Creek Valley. As you arrive at the summer camp training site, you will be greeted by a professional dog musher and some of the state’s most famous athletes: the Alaskan huskies! You will receive an educational tour of the camp, visit a 19th-century replica of an Iditarod Outpost and enjoy fresh baked cookies. Next, climb aboard a comfortable wheeled cart and relax as your energetic Alaskan husky team whisks you along the one-and-a-half-mile trail through the beautiful landscape. You’ll return to Dog Sledding Summer Camp for your chance to meet the dogs and snuggle the next generation of great Alaskan athletes: sled dog puppies! This family-friendly excursion is truly an authentic Alaskan experience. Enjoy a ride through the scenic Sheep Creek Valley in a wheeled-cart pulled by a team of Alaska Huskies! Our dog camp is complete with 120 huskies, including sled dog puppies. It is located on the site of the historic AJ Mine, so you’ll see mining relics on your way to camp. This tour does not include a helicopter flight.
