Build your own Igloo
Build an igloo by yourself is the dream of many of us. But what does it actually need? Snow of course. The relevant tools make building an igloo also much easier. But most importantly, it requires a working and harmonizing team. Only if all participants work together, the igloo can be built within the defined time. Otherwise, only a convertible igloo will be built :). But no worries, there's no lack of fun in this great winter adventure. Our igloo construction masters will teach you the theory and the technique in a relaxed way and as a team you will create your masterpiece - a classically built igloo with the Inuit technique.
This is what you get
