About Wapusk Adventures

David and Valerie Daley are long time residents of Churchill, with David's family history going back to the 1950s.

'We tried living elsewhere, but the freedom and natural beauty of Churchill drew us back, and this is where we chose to raise our family and build our lives together.

We have both worked to become part of Churchill's tour industry. Hard work and personal integrity have made our dreams come true with the creation of Wapusk General Store (hand-built by Dave) and Wapusk Adventures Dog Sled Camp (paw-built by Dave's dogs).

Wapusk Adventures is a Churchill-owned and operated business. We focus on hiring local mushers and helpers at Wapusk Kennels and take pride in promoting this northern town. This is reflected in the spirit and enjoyable atmosphere at our camp in the boreal forest.'

In 2009, Dave was designated as a Province of Manitoba 'InMotion Champion'. Seventeen Champions, ranging from Olympic medalists to CFL football players to community leaders were chosen by the Healthy Living Minister, Kerri Irvin-Ross to promote physical activity in comunities throughout Manitoba. Dave is proud to work towards this goal and help make northern Manitoba a better place to live. Learn more about InMotion Manitoba at the link below.

In 2005, Wapusk Adventures received both the Manitoba Aboriginal Tourism Award and the Manitoba Hydro Spirit of the Earth Award.

'We are proud of our metis heritage and proud of living 'up north'. This extends throughout our work at Wapusk Adventures and is part of the reason, we do our best to give visitors a little glimpse of the traditional and the modern trapper lifestyle.

Everything we have goes 'to the dogs'. We work hard to make sure they have a good life and that we offer the best product we can. Each year, we add something new to Wapusk Adventures. We hope you can join us on the Ididamile adventure!'
