Excalibur - Adventure Canoe Tripping Camp for Boys
 NAMED AFTER THE MYTH of the sword and the stone, Excalibur, a canoe adventure camp for boys, is designed to be a young man's first trip away from home and a journey of self discovery into the Canadian wilderness.
Guided by three of our most experienced mentors, the emphasis is on providing a safe, fun and empowering experience. During the course of this two week canoe camp, boys will learn the basics of outdoor adventure living and wilderness canoe tripping.
A BOY'S FIRST FEW DAYS at our canoe camp are spent developing the skills necessary for wilderness travel. With the help of the camp staff and more experienced campers, they learn to paddle a canoe, portage, pack a Duluth, set up a tent and work with others. While these few days help to lay the foundation for a successful experience, they also give trip leaders the opportunity to spend time with each participant.
Incorporating mythological stories and ancient maps, the group embarks on a ten-day wilderness canoe trip through the lakes and streams surrounding our island base camp in the heaert of Ontario's premier canoe wilderness, Temagami Forest Preserve. Ancient forest, lakes filled with fish, wildlife, mountains and hiking trails, provide endless adventures for the typical pre-teen boy.
Whether it is setting up camp, learning to paddle a canoe with confidence, catching a northern pike, seeing their first moose, or listening to stories of the Hudson Bay Company around the evening campfire, these boys inevitably become seasoned travelers in the back woods.
