Canadian Canoeing
Travel with us to the Canadian Algonquin Wilderness for mostly flat water canoeing, some not so flat, beautiful scenery, fairly simple portages (moving equipment and canoes from lake to lake) and wildlife. Yes, this is a “roughing it” test and adventure. Feel your pioneer heritage! You will carry backpacks, water bottles, canoes, and all other necessities. Enjoy camping and sleeping in your tent under the thousands of stars. The evening campsites are private, restful and large. We will bring camping gadgets...you bring yourself, your gear and a will to “rough it” for the week! We’ll return to Crestfield early Sunday morning. This camp is led by the Rev. Henk Bossers. Henk has led this camp for many years and is looking forward to helping you enjoy this adventure!
