OVERVIEW 

Thank you for your interest in this one-of-a-kind event hosted by Kris Andres, and Manu Keggenhoff at the beautiful Yukon Lake Cabins on Kluane Lake in rugged and beautiful Yukon Territory.

* As per our Terms and Conditions, OFFBEAT reserves the right to change, at any time, the tour leader of any workshop.

Location: Kluane Lake, YT

Dates:  August 29 - September 1, 2025

 ACCOMMODATIONS AND TRANSPORTATION 

Your home for the duration of the workshop is the Yukon Lake Cabins on the shores of Kluane Lake at Silver City. The price includes all meals, accommodation, and instruction. Please note, that transportation is not included. All meals will be catered including a variety of group sit-down meals at the cabins and packed lunches while out in the field.

 IMPORTANT NOTE 

This is not a luxury tour. While comfortable, please note that accommodations are somewhat rustic and will be shared (roughly four participants per cabin). We will do our best, however, to accommodate friends/spouses (must all participating in the workshop) to ensure you room in the same cabin. Know, however, that cabin time is actually fairly minimal - we will be spending a lot of time in the field during this workshop; think of the cabin as the place you close your eyes between capturing magic.

 WHAT TO EXPECT 

The workshop is suitable for participants of all levels of experience in photography. Most locations will be readily accessible from the road, although we may hike short distances on occasion.

It is worth noting that the workshop will be quite intense in order to maximize field time. Participants are not expected to participate in every aspect of the workshop. It’s up to you to get out as much as you like, though of course it is recommended you give it your all.

 LEAVE NO TRACE 

OFFBEAT preaches and lives the ethics of "leave no trace" photography, which means that the utmost care is given, while hiking and photographing, to leaving zero impact on the natural environment. Participants are expected to approach this tour with the same ethics at all times.

 INSURANCE 

It is advised that workshop participants have trip cancellation/interruption insurance, as well as emergency medical/illness insurance and rescue coverage.

Weather and other unforeseen factors can cause delays in travel, particularly from some of our more remote locations. It is the participant’s responsibility to cover any costs in the case of a travel delay of any length. Please ensure your trip cancellation/interruption insurance accommodates this possibility.

By purchasing a spot you are acknowledging that you accept these conditions.
