Animal Care & Veterinary
Points Unknown
Points Unknown is an off-grid homestead and sled-dog operation in Hovland, Minnesota, near Lake Superior's North Shore, offering guided dog-sledding, canicross, and paddling experiences. This apprenticeship trades full room and board for hands-on work: kennel management, daily dog care, assisting with guided sledding tours, and wilderness-guiding support, in exchange for on-site housing through the winter season. Nominal pay of $1/month plus tips reflects that the arrangement is structured as a work-for-housing exchange rather than a wage job.
