—Jodi Browning, Co-Director, Northwaters & Langskib Canoe Tripping Programs

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
