Welcome to the Student Yukon Quest! The activities and information provided on this site are intended to develop an interest in the Yukon Quest Sled Dog Race.

Additional educational resources packages are available. Contact Cathi Dunham for more information.

Due to our  teaching assignments and time constraints, Cameron and I, are unable to host and register classes. We apologize for this but hope you still find the site useful and informative. We will continue to update as fast as we can!

Check Recent Discussions for updated postings.

To get you started on your own Quest, we have provided some Reading, Writing and Math examples. Your input will help make this site alive and active.

1. Reading Quest - student teams race the mushers along the trail to the finish. This activity is designed to help teachers set up a Reading Quest within their school or in their own classroom.

2. Math Quest -students create and provide solutions for their own "Quest" math problems that teachers post to the site.

3. Weather Tracking Activity - students graph the weather for a race checkpoint.
