My experience at the camping was super amazing! I stayed for 7 weeks and the time just flew so fast there. I had the chance to try lots of winter sports I never tried before, the staff is very friendly and welcoming, we had sauna evenings twice a week, shared dinners for special occasions (very often) and some little trips together which made everything feel like a real home in a beautiful community. I will always remember my time in the artic as a beautiful icy dream 🤍 thank you for everything!!

I had a great time at the camping where I got to experience all the Arctic has to offer including northern lights, snowmobile rides, dog sledding, cross country, snowboarding and I met a bunch of lovely people in the process. It is a great team there, so you will for sure have a good time! My only challenge was that the schedule was mostly given the night before and I like to plan ahead. However, the team was open to try their best to accommodate my wishes and were even flexible enough to plan around me getting my snowmobile license. You will not regret going here!

This is a perfect Worldpackers experience. For real! I will be short and simple. You meet new international friends, go on a free, awesome tours, there are sooo many things to do and you will never get bored! For me the job was quite diverse and hours flew super fast + the job was very flexible and The team is very supportive. I wish I had stayed here till summer, so I could see the midnight sun! If you are reading this- go and apply-to collect the most unforgettable moments of your life!

This was our first Worldpacking experience and we could not ask for any better! People here are VERY welcoming and fun! The work is totaly fair - everything as agreed! Also You will have an opportunity to come up with your ideas/projects. We saw a lot of 😍Aurora, had a lot of fun joining free snowmobile tours, sweet dinner times together, dogsled tours, skiing, sauna evenings etc. We stayed here for a month but it was not enough because time pased soooo fast and we would love to come back already.. I can guarantee that this place will stay in your heart forever!

It was a great experience. The work is pretty much exactly as discussed and your preferences are taken into account. The accommodation is also as agreed upon (a little cabin or camper van without running water but you will have that all to yourself). The nature surrounding you is incredible and the team is so welcoming and everyone is willing to help each other out. I'm not sure what was better the nature or the people you work with. Being able to join tours so often was quite a surprise to me and it really makes the experience 10 times better. Also just Olav, once you meet him you'll get it
