Learning the Sami way
At Sápmi Nature Camp, I wanted to bring people into our Sami land to enjoy our world and learn about our way of life. So I created Sápmi Nature Camp on the land of my own Sami community. This Sami experience is a way to create awareness of the needs of our reindeer and our sustainable way of life here, North of the Arctic Circle. Nature is our culture and this place has been our home for generations – welcome to my home!

Many people would call this land wilderness, but from the local Sami perspective this land is not wilderness – this is a cultural landscape where people have lived for thousands of years – but their lives have been so closely connected to nature that it’s almost impossible to see the hidden signs from the past generations life here. A stay here will give you a real and genuine experience of life in the Sami way.
