Learn about dog mushing and gold panning in this fun, family-friendly Alaskan experience! After arriving to our base camp, begin your tour with a Musher Talk, where the mushers share fascinating information about the Alaskan state sport of mushing. Of course, we make sure you have plenty of time to meet some of our professional athletes---our sled dogs and puppies! After that, take a chance to pan for gold in our riverside sluice. Once your guide shows you the art of gold panning, you can test your luck to see what you can find. Then you will have time to take a self-guided nature hike next to beautiful waterfalls and dense Alaskan forest or browse the gift shop and relax in our saloon with a deck overlooking the picturesque stream. All of this in a spectacular Alaskan setting! This is a tour full of Alaskan adventure, history, and awe-inspiring wilderness. As a small, locally owned company we take pride in sharing our passion for mushing and for Alaska.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to participate in the gold panning?

A: There's no strict age limit! Kids as young as 4 can enjoy the experience, especially the gold panning and meeting the sled dogs. Just make sure they have a parent or guardian with them to help out. It’s super family-friendly and a blast for everyone!

Q: What’s included in the package for the Musher's Camp adventure?

A: The package includes a Musher Talk, time with the sled dogs, gold panning equipment, and access to the nature hike. It’s great to learn about mushing and get hands-on with the dogs! Plus, there’s a gift shop and you can chill in the saloon afterward. It’s a well-rounded adventure!

Q: What should I wear for the Musher's Camp experience? Is it super cold?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly, even in summer, especially near the water. Wear waterproof shoes since you'll be panning for gold, and bring a light jacket. Trust me, being comfortable makes the whole experience way more enjoyable!

I’m so excited! I just got tickets for me and my kids for the Musher's Camp in Skagway. We can’t wait to meet the sled dogs and try gold panning. Has anyone done this? How was the experience for kids? Any tips?
