Backcountry Camping Fee:
$37.29 per person for the trip
($11.00 + HST per night × 3 nights)
Each participant is responsible for paying their share in advance to confirm their spot.

What to Expect:
We’ll paddle and portage between lakes, moving at a relaxed but steady pace. There’s time for swimming, exploring, and campfire evenings. We’ll be changing campsites each night, so pack light and efficiently.

***

Canoes & Gear:
Each participant is responsible for bringing or arranging their own canoe, paddles, PFD (lifejacket), camping gear, food, and supplies. If you need help renting or sharing gear, let us know and we’ll try to help coordinate.

Beginners Welcome, But...
This is a backcountry trip — limited cell service, no toilets, and no running water. If you're new to this kind of camping, no problem — we’re happy to offer guidance and support. Just be prepared to:

  • Paddle for hours per day
  • Carry your gear (and possibly a canoe) on portages
  • Set up camp and help with group tasks
  • Embrace the outdoors and the occasional bug bite

Let’s unplug, explore, and enjoy a few days immersed in Ontario’s wilderness.

Limited spots — RSVP early to save yours!
