Eight-Day Wilderness Canoe Adventure: Back to Basics

We spend the full eight days learning primitive skills alongside canoeing skills, both of which we start applying right away. This is a two-part course: first, you learn the basic canoe and outdoor skills needed to be confident and safe camping in the woods and paddling our lakes and streams. In the second part, we take off down the river and camp as we go, using the skills learned in the first part of the course.

The featured skills:

All things canoe related

Primitive fire making and cooking over an open fire

Campsite selection and simple shelter setups

Wild edible plant identification and gathering

Lostproofing: the art of navigating in the woods

Personal and camp hygiene

Wilderness attunement and sensory awakening exercises
