How the Day Runs

  1. 1We meet at the parking lot of your chosen course — we'll send directions when you book. Once everyone's gathered, your guide gets things started.
  2. 2At the course your guide does a quick intro — rules of disc golf, how to throw, what to watch for. Experienced players can skip ahead.
  3. 3You play 9 or 18 holes depending on the course and group pace. Your guide plays along, keeps score, and gives tips throughout.
  4. 4We wrap up and head back. There's no rush — if you're having fun and the course allows, we keep going.

How the Day Runs

  1. 1We meet at the trailhead — we'll send directions when you book. Your guide gives a quick safety and gear check before we set off.
  2. 2We walk at a pace that works for your slowest walker — no one gets left behind. We stop often to explore, identify plants and animals, and let little legs rest.
  3. 3We take a snack break at a scenic spot. Your guide uses this time to share stories about the ecosystem, local wildlife, and Yukon history.
  4. 4We return to the trailhead and head back. The itinerary is always flexible — if the kids are energised we can explore more; if someone's tired we turn around early. No pressure.
Good to know:

Tell us the ages and approximate fitness levels of all hikers when you book — we'll choose the trail that suits your group best. We have routes that are perfect for toddlers in carriers all the way up to confident 12-year-olds ready for a proper adventure.
