Our Iditarod Boot Camp adventure will begin at the Iditarod Headquarters on June 22. After our first session, we will journey to the Dream a Dream Dog Farm in Willow, Alaska!
Three days of our conference will be held at the Dream a Dream Dog Farm, home and kennel of Susan Whiton and Vern Halter. Both Vern and Susan have run Iditarod and the Yukon Quest. Vern is a Yukon Quest Champion.
Participants have the option of over-nighting at the kennel. Our conference will be held at the kennel during the conference hours on Sunday evening, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning.
Our conference sessions will be held in the training center and outside as weather permits. We'll be 'camping' out bunk house --- dorm style in the upstairs of the training center.
After our breakfast each morning, we'll have the opportunity to go on a walk with the puppies and learn how to harness a team. We'll also help with the morning dog chores. Before our three days are over, you'll know the personality of many of Vern and Susan's dogs. If you are lucky, the dogs might even teach you how to sing a howl song with them.
Our activities and sessions will help you connect the race and Alaska to your curriculum in a way that impacts your students in an incredible way!
