The Voyageur trips will either spark or rekindle an
appreciation for the breathtaking beauty of Northern
Ontario. Voyageurs begin their trip paddling on one
of the many beautiful and tranquil rivers in the nearby
vicinity of Wabanaki (a 1-2 hour drive away). After
4 days on the river, the roup of 10 girls and boys and
2 trippers will meet up with one of our drivers and
trade their paddles for hiking boots, and continue their
trip on solid ground. Four days and a quick van ride
later, the final component of the tripping adventure
begins with a sea-kayaking excursion along the shores
of Georgian Bay.
Once
back at camp, Voyageurs will spend a day unpacking and
cleaning up their gear, debriefing and getting ready
to head home.
Our
tripping staff are lifeguard qualified, experienced
in tripping, and enthusiastic and eager to share their
knowledge about the wonders of nature. Trips are in
contact with camp a minimum of twice - while equipment
is re-supplied, and while the group is transported to
the Georgian Bay drop off. These trips will carry satellite
phones.
Sturdy
footwear required: hiking shoes or boots
