【Aurora Lake】

Aurora viewing is an awe-inspiring event on the frozen Aurora Lake in front of the teepees. The aurora can be seen 360 degrees without having to shift your position when standing in the centre of the lake. You may watch the aurora by lying down on the snow with your arms and legs sprawled out or you may sit in a comfortable folding chair to watch this phenomenon.

During our fall season, when there is no wind, the aurora is spectacular as it reflects off the lake.

“Dream catchers are an ancient spiritual tool to assure good dreams to those that sleep under them. A dream catcher is hung over your bed where the morning light can hit it. As you sleep all dreams from the spirit world have to pass through the dream catcher. Only good dreams pass through the centre while the bad dreams are caught in the webbing and are destroyed by the morning light.”
