WE LOVE TRIPPING!

 

Canoe tripping has been an important part of Ontario Pioneer’s program since the camp began in 1929. Trips, outside of camp into the wilderness, provide unique opportunities for skill development, community building and personal challenge. Canoe trips are a great opportunity for campers to safely step outside their comfort zones while also experiencing the beauty of creation.

Our well-trained Tripping Staff lead campers on a variety of trips that vary in terms of length and degree of difficulty. Each trip is made up of 4-7 campers and at least 2 leaders. Our Lead Trippers are highly qualified and responsible for the planning, navigating, safety and cooking.
 
We send trips to many regions, including Algonquin Park and the French River. Routes depend on several factors, including water levels and campsite availability. All specialized equipment is provided including: canoes, tents, rescue equipment, satellite phones and wilderness first aid kits.
 
Please note that campers must reach a certain level on their swim test at the beginning of the session in order to go on a trip.

Adventure Day-Trips

Kayaking & Mountain Biking

 

In addition to our overnight trips, Boys and Girls Camps also offer several day trips for campers who have reached advanced levels in kayaking and mountain biking.

 
On opening day parents/guardians will have an opportunity at the activities desk to give permission for the trip. Interested campers will be assessed for appropriate skill level by the staff leading the trip. Those who choose not to participate or who do not have the necessary skill level will remain at camp and participate in a regular day of activities. These trips are subject to availability based on enrolment. Additional costs apply.

 

Kayaking

Campers who enrol in Kayaking Level 3 or Kayaking Level 4 will have the option to go on a white-water kayaking day-trip to The Gull or Palmer Rapids (depending on water levels). (only in 2 week sessions)

Mountain Biking

Campers who enrol in Mountain Biking Level 3 will have the option to go on a biking day-trip. (only in 2 week sessions)
