Christmas at Wapos Bay

Country Available: Canada, USA

The Christmas we have all been waiting for...
Gentle, Meaningful and Rewarding

Travel to the Great North, the Arctic, to experience Christmas at its simple best, away from the quest for material trappings to the traditional ways of family working and celebrating together. Three Indian children are visiting their grandfather at his trapline cabin where he follows the traditional ways of hunting, fishing and trapping. Food is a blessing and a gift. In this heart warming, classic story, the three children venture out to find food for their upcoming family Christmas gathering. They meet several dangers and challenges in the wild, but emerge wiser and more respectful of their environment, elders and tradition. Elementary level children will tune into the many lessons this adventure has to share.
