  Aide

  Currently we are looking for someone for the summer month, from May to September 2024, or even longer.
  
  We are searching for volunteers with a positive nature, with a lot of energy and a genuine interest in working with sled dogs. We expect our volunteers to be helpful and flexible in our sometimes difficult Artic conditions, and really eager to participate in all types of work necessary.
  Summertime:
  The days starts with cleaning the kennels. At this time we let the dogs running free on our yard, or we go out for a walk into the forest with smaller groups of dogs. We check the straw of the dog cabins and take care about the maintenance of the kennels, We end the day by feeding the dogs.
  Wintertime:
  The day starts with feeding the dogs and getting them ready for our first guest to arrive.
  Our dogs are lively and strong individuals that require confident handling. The work is physically demanding and can push you sometimes to your limit, especially by bad weather conditions. But if you learn to appreciate the eager of our dogs to run and do their job well, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing dogs and guests coming back from their tour smiling and being happy.
  
  
  
  What we can offer you during your time with us:
  - to learn everything about sleddogs :)
  - driving a sled on your own
  - driving a snow mobile
  - meeting a lot of guest from all over the world
  - see a Northernlight

  From end of March until middle of November we are at the edge of Finland situated. Very close to the Russian border and in the middle of the biggest nature resort south of the polarcirkle. Our next neighbor is almost 20km far away.
  Distance to the smaller town Lieksa: 55km
  Distance to Joensuu, the capital city in North Karelia: 130km
  Beautiful nature and wildlife along the river.
  Its really only for people which prefers to be outside a hectic city life. In your free time you can explore the landscape with a bike, canoe or a boat or just enjoy a hiking trip true the forests with some dogs.
  
  Midd November we move up north. Levi is a fell located in Finnish Lapland, and the largest ski resort in Finland.
