Teen Mission (ages 13-16), husky camp

Service Description

For 5 days and 4 nights, teenagers dive into the daily life of our pack and discover what it really means to live and work with sled dogs. Led by Violaine, three-time World Mushing Champion (2024, 2025 and 2026), they will learn the many sides of a musher's work: training, driving a dog team, choosing and preparing the dogs, care, equipment and kennel life. A camp that is deliberately more technical, more athletic and more hands-on, for young people who want to go further in the world of mushing. 🛷 What's included 🐾 Introduction to or improvement in dog scootering and dog karting 🐺 Choosing the dogs and putting together a team 🛷 Preparing the kart, the lines and the equipment 🏃 Sporty husky hikes in the mountains ❤️ Care, feeding, recovery and well-being of the dogs 🐕 Reading dog behaviour and building a relationship with the dog 🎯 Sporting challenges, technical workshops and team missions 🏕️ Camp life, shared meals, campfires and nights in tents 🌲 Treetop adventure course, via ferrata and trout fishing 🪂 Paragliding (optional) Activities with the dogs take place during the coolest hours, depending on temperatures and always with respect for their well-being. 💪 More than a mushing camp The young people play an active part in camp life: caring for the dogs, organising the equipment, preparing meals and daily tasks. An experience that encourages independence, responsibility, mutual support and self-confidence. 🏆 The Great Young Mushers Challenge At the end of the week, participants put what they have learned into practice: preparing the equipment, choosing their dogs, putting together their team, sharing out the roles and completing a final team mission. A chance to see how far they have come... and to end the adventure with the pride of having become a real Young Musher! 🐺 📍 Practical information 📍 Alpes'Huskies, Grand-Paradis, Champéry 📅 12 to 16 July 2027 ⏱️ Monday 9 am to Friday 4 pm 🧑 Camp for teenagers only 👥 Limited to 20 participants 🏕️ Tent accommodation, meals, activities and supervision included 💰 CHF 750 per participant 👫 CHF 680 per participant for siblings 📞 Information and registration: +41 78 664 61 61 🐺 Ready to join the pack?
