Sunset on Overnight Kayak Trip

I've designed this itinerary for the outdoor woman who strives to make the most of her time in Lofoten! At this time of year in Norway it is light 24 hours a day, which allows us to see and do so much! If you are experienced in the outdoors, love photography, have your own gear + are accustomed to moderately high levels of physical activity, this Creative Camp is for you! When it comes to food, our menu is varied and veggie focused and perfect for those who have a love for healthy and hearty plant-based meals! After a week of exploring with an awesome crew, you will return feeling fit + accomplished! After our adventure ends and you start to go through the stunning images captured during this once in a lifetime experience I hope that you will reflect on the friendships you’ve made and also feel creatively inspired!

“The trip exceeded my expectations which were high since I’d hiked with Viktoria before and I knew Norway would be spectacular. Having logistics and food taken care of and getting taken to beautiful spots on Lofoten were great advantages to this type of trip. The other women on the trip were incredibly good company.”
