EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
As autumn fades, the polar bears of Hudson Bay gather to await the sea ice that signals winter’s return. Alongside a leading authority on this precious population, journey onto the tundra aboard specially fitted vehicles to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Lectures, field trips and museum visits will help you understand not only the life of the polar bear, but also the challenges of global climate change, local conservation issues and the future of the arctic ecosystem.


Highlights

• Take part in a dog sled adventure and observe caribou, Arctic fox, snowy owl and other Arctic species.
• Examine research and conservation efforts conducted by the new International Polar Bear Conservation Centre.
• Meet a planning expert from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, set to become the largest human rights center on earth.
Due to the nature of this program, listening devices are not available.

Activity Notes

Walking up to two miles on frozen terrain.
