Multi-activity challenge
Challenge level
Join us in July 2023 for an awesome canoeing challenge in Finland.
Lapland is renowned for its mystical winters, but we’ll get the best of the Arctic summer. Experience shining sun, crystal clear waters, sandy beaches and acres of ancient woodland, ideal for wild camping!
No canoeing experience is needed as we’ll kick off with training and gear preparation. Then we’ll canoe for three days in the Oulanka National Park, where northern, southern and eastern nature collide.
Together with our local experts, we’ll carry all the gear we need in our two-man canoes and glide over 37km on the Oulankajoki river. Canoeing by day, we’ll rest by night in rustic cabins and tents by the riverside, cook our meals together and swim under the late night sun.
Our challenge will not only teach us literal life lessons, like how to canoe, set up a secure wild camp and make tasty meals with an expedition cooker; it will also give us the chance to see an amazing amount of wildlife.
Dates: 6 - 10 July 2023 Duration: 5 days Registration Fee: £249 Self Fund: £1,550 Sponsorship: £3,100 Airport tax and fuel surcharge: Capped at £250
