Canoe Trips
Grab your compass, grab your paddle, and get ready for some wilderness travel!
Join our canoe-tripping crew and get ready for a truly awesome wilderness experience. Our overnight tripping camps for ages 12- 16 provide fantastic opportunities for your child to learn canoe and camping skills and create lasting friendships while travelling through beautiful locations.
Canoe trip guides are certified in first aid and lifeguarding, and are experienced in leading backcountry trips for youth.
Over the course of the trip, campers will travel as a group from campsite to campsite. They will navigate, cook, and set up shelter all on their own with support when needed. Campers will learn by doing and our knowledgeable guides will be there to help them along the way.
