Here at Bear Creek Outdoor Centre we offer two versions of our all gender Canoe Tripping Camp. You can choose either a two week or a single week program.
Why Canoe Trips?
These all-gender youth development programs offer life skills education and a chance for a young person to explore their limits in the context of a team adventure. Bear Creek canoe trip participants learn self-reliance and responsibility, as well as develop an appreciation for their impact on their environment, the team and natural settings. These adventures cultivate lasting friendships forged on shared experiences. Canoe campers learn paddling and wilderness camping skills and so develop self confidence and self awareness in a safe and fun environment.
Two-Week Program
Awesome trip and learning for teens.
