The Points Unknown adventure trips are all educationally based. You won't get a dog sled ride, you'll learn how to mush a small team of our sled dogs. You won't be led through the wilderness by a guide, you'll learn how to do your own navigation with a map and compass. The wilderness survival skills you learn will help build self-confidence and enhance your future experiences, be it on a trek into the wilderness, on a leisurely hike around one of your local parks or in the adventures of your every day life.

Our adventures are for those who want to be actively engaged with a more simple life in the woods; for those who want to be involved in every aspect of the adventure offered.












Points Unknown holds six things truly important to its mission.

1) Safety

2) Relationship with Dogs

3) Learning and Self Discovery

4) Fun

5) Wilderness Appreciation

6) Excellent Meals







Its our hope that those attending a Points Unknown adventure will leave having found all of the following:
  • New Friends
  • An Invigorated Spirit
  • New Winter Survival Knowledge
  • A Deeper Love for the Outdoors
  • A New Love and Understanding of Sled Dogs









"Being on this Points Unknown adventure touched my soul. Everything I love and seek in life was here: incredible dogs, passionate people, the beautiful, peaceful north woods, good company, learning something new and amazingly delicious food."

Regarding a recent advanced adventure where those participants had attended a previous adventure:

"I just wanted to thank you for giving us such an amazing weekend!...." "The weekend was so well laid out to remind us what to do, help us feel more confident, and then go for it! It was truly memorable!"
