Canoeing & Adventure Camps

Ages 10-16

Canoe Trip Programs – Ages 10–16

For campers who are looking to connect with nature from an immersed perspective, our canoe trip programs connect campers directly to the natural world. Over the course of their canoe trips, campers will paddle, portage, make camp, gather round a campfire, and make lifelong memories.

Our Junior Trip and Algonquin Canoe Adventure programs offer campers an introduction to canoe tripping. These trips have shorter durations and our awesome tripping staff work to give campers the opportunity to build their skills over the course of the trip. Our Senior Trips are longer, more in-depth trips designed to challenge campers and give them the chance to further enhance their tripping skills!

Learning opportunities:

Traveling by canoe in the wilderness is possibly the quintessential Canadian experience.

Builds confidence and self-esteem

Creates a sense of independence and self-reliance

Develops teamwork and leadership skills

What parents are saying about our tripping programs…

“My son is a lot more independent and now cooking more on his own after the canoe trip.” [Wilderness Canoe Trip]
“My daughter got to try new activities that she never would have been able to try. Through the rest of the summer and fall, she would bring up stories of some of the things they did at camp. [Algonquin Canoe Adventure] I can see now that she has made some amazing memories. She has kept in contact with her group of friends that she made at camp.”
“My son had the time of his life on the canoe trip in Algonquin Park [Algonquin Canoe Adventure] – a fantastic experience where he made new friends, discovered a beautiful area, and can’t wait to go back! We travel as a family quite a bit, but this was the most memorable trip of his summer!”
“Great Camp [Challenge and Adventure], lots of variety and along with a great outdoor experience that keeps us coming back year after year!”
