Introductory Trip (3 day)
Join us this summer for a fully guided canoe trip to experience God’s creation together! Create new family memories, and bond with your son or daughter on this wilderness adventure. No experience necessary, this outdoor creation experience is designed for beginners in mind with short or limited portaging only. Our outdoor educators will provide the paddle training, rental equipment (canoes, lifejackets, paddles, tents etc) in addition to fully catered back-country meals.
No experience necessary! We provide you with the canoe lessons and training required for this wilderness adventure out into God’s creation (see photos from past trips).
Evening campfires/worship songs, morning bible-based devotions will grow our Christian faith & fellowship together while building core memories outside in nature with your child.

Our goal is for this trip to be introductory and make camping accessible by providing you with the gear & experience/training.
Portages are kept at a minimum while route planning.
~3 hours of paddling + ~500m moderate level portage
Tentatively $280/person: Our price includes the campsite fees, the meals, tents, canoes, paddles, lifejackets + first aid safety equipment. Our two canoe guides will lead you into God’s creation, to Kawartha Highlands or Haliburton Highlands ~1 hour north of Fair Havens.
You are responsible for your vehicle transportation, bringing your personal clothing/bedding (following our packing list), also a sense of adventure and an open mind to learn new things!
