Standard Four Night – the most popular of the three packages, this is a four-day, three-night vacation experience for individuals, pairs or families

• Wintergreen Classics – Designed specifically for the beginner, this six-day, five-night camping adventure will teach novices winter camping skills, skiing, snowshoeing and dogsledding. Immediately following this phase, guests will be taken on a four-day, three-night trip into the wilderness, capping it off with a final night at the lodge.

• Advanced Camping Trips – As a much more intense camping experience, these will require that campers possess significant skills in winter camping, since they’ll be led much further into the wilderness through the use of dogs, skis and snowshoes. With the choice of either a six- or eight-night expedition, guests should be prepared to exhibit the necessary skiing skills that will be required to safely make the trip.

Ely is located in the northeast corner of Minnesota, approximately 250 miles north of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and only twelve miles south of the Canadian border. Those who are planning to participate in a Wintergreen Dogsledding Vacation should plan to arrive at 4:00 p.m. – or as close to that time as possible – so that they can enjoy their first meal and attend the orientation, which begins at 7:00 p.m.
