At Kigluait Adventures we are most widely know for our sled dog related videoconferences and the month of January is an important month for any musher! It is the month were mushers work the hardest, put in the most time and effort into preparing their teams for races and spring trips. 

So this month we thought it would be a good idea to highlight our “Sled Dog Racing: Meet a Musher” program ( http://www.kigluaitadventures.com/race ).  This is one of our best “tried and true” programs where your class will Meet our Mushers and dogs, tour the kennel, and get loads of time to ask questions to learn all about what it's really like to run dogs in Alaska!

The program also spends time investigating character traits of mushers, and sled dogs, as well as commonalities of these traits that participants will have due to activities they participate in. 

Teachers participating in this program will enjoy speaking with both an adult musher and a teen musher, as both endpoints discuss lifestyles. 

Also, teachers can find extensive resources in both our online classroom, Moodle where conversations can be continued in depth via forums, or on our Flash Kennels community site were students can connect with others that have participated in the program.
