We believe that when a young person steps off the pavement and into the natural world they move toward a deeper understanding of themselves.”
—Jodi Browning, Co-Director, Northwaters & Langskib Canoe Tripping Programs

Looking for a wilderness tripping program? Northwaters & Langskib Canoe Tripping Programs provide opportunities to learn from the land and one another in a spirit that honours awareness, freedom, balance and trust. Boys, girls, and coed programs are available at all experience levels.

Can there be any summer camp activity more exciting than a wilderness trip. A trip into the wilderness of northern Ontario or Quebec (perfectly suited for kids from Northeastern states such as New York or Vermont) will certainly help your child to deepen an appreciation of nature. Be sure that the summer camp you are interested in has fully trained counsellors who understand wilderness dangers and have full wilderness survival and first aid training, etc. The "wilderness camps" listed below all offer wilderness trips as part of their programming. Isn't that what summer camp really ought to be about? Read more
