Canoe Camp (7 to 12 yrs. old)

“Canoe believe this view? Oar am I just seeing things?” - Someone’s Dad

Come explore the amazing Rideau River and join in on fun water-based adventures this Summer. Canoers will improve their paddling and water safety skills and enjoy a variety of exciting water-based fun. When campers are not on the Rideau River, they will have time to play a bunch of awesome land-based games and activities. During canoe camp weeks, campers will be in the canoes each day.
