Canadian Canoeing

Catalog description

This expedition is preceded by two days of canoe instruction, group preparation, planning and packing. We paddle and portage from lake to lake for nine days throughout the remote wilderness of Canada’s Algonquin Provincial Park. Along the way students learn low-impact camping and travel techniques, backcountry cooking, and the natural history of the area. The overarching goal of this course is to broaden the understanding of self, others and the environment. This is a rugged course environment with daily challenges. Participants should be prepared for the physical and mental rigors of extended backcountry living, travel and work group development. Course fee applies. Refer to the Schedule of Classes. Offered only Fall Mini 1, varies.
