New for Up North Adventures in 2013:
After a busy December, Up North Adventures retail location will be open on Mondays and Fridays from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm during January and February 2013. This will enable us to make some important (and positive!) changes for the remainder of the winter season as well as the upcoming summer season. Tuesday to Thursday we’ll be concentrating on rolling out the new components of our organization. We’ll be answering phone calls and emails during the week so please contact us if you need help.
The winter trips and tours will still be operating seven days a week. For reservations please call 867-667-7035 or email: trips@upnorthadventures.com
There will be lots of Facebook (facebook.com/upnorthadventures) and Twitter (@UNAYukon) updates, so be sure to stay in touch with us. We’ll be releasing more information in the coming weeks so stay tuned!
