-> Volunteer with Husky tours in Lapland, NorwayI've been at Sven's place for a month in July 2010. Christel and Sven made me feel very welcome. My days where mainly filled with providing the dogs with water and food in the morning, cleaning the cabins after that and show guests their cabin when they arrive in the afternoon.
The rest of the time was filled in varied. The puppy's had to be taken out for a walk, there is always something to do around the house, the henhouse has to be cleaned, visiting Karasjok and there is a lots of possibilitys to go hiking, swimming, canoeing and maybe horseriding if you're experienced. I even got a chance to stay on an island in a lake with the dogs when they went on summercamp. Christel made a nice video, that cann be found on youtube. And in the evening the volunteers join Christel and Sven for dinner. There's a little kitchen where the volunteers have breakfast and lunch. Food is provided by Christel, you just have to make your own sandwich :).
Anyway, Christel and Sven are realy nice people. If you're open to it, you'll have a great time joining them in their daily routin. Days may be quiet or chaotic, but it'll be a great experience.

-> Volunteer with Husky tours in Lapland, NorwayWe've been at Sven's place for a month in sept 09.
Awesome place, great accommodation, great food (you'll never be hungry :) ) and very friendly hosts.
Work is varied, as advertised. Hours can be variable and not counted, but they're looking for you to have a good stay, not exploiting you ;)
If they can have you, don't hesitate !
Cedric & Aurélie.
