Description

Wishing for a new sort of wellness experience? Wilderness Union has created something different, authentic and impactful for you.

In this very special adventure, you will be taken out of the over-stimulating churn of the city and brought to a stunning and serene private island near the township of Minden. Here, you will go on an incredible journey to support your mind and body.

What to expect:

- Small-group sauna sessions

- An ice bath carved out of the private island’s frozen lake

- A comfortable hot-tent for blissful recovery

- An ice walk on the frozen lake and hike through the island's trails

- An offering of nourishing food and drinks to sustain your body for each circuit

- A suite of guided mindful exercise

WU transport is strongly encouraged for this event as we cannot guarantee safe and available parking for you at the location.

- Cardiovascular problems

- Current illness, fever, respiratory infection

- Circulatory disorders (Raynaud’s, peripheral neuropathy)

- Pregnancy

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
