Life on Trip

Life on trip starts on Devil’s Island, our 50 acre base camp on Lake Temagami in the Near North of Ontario.  Known for its pristine setting, abundant wildlife, and clear waters connected by portage trails that have been in use for generations, the Temagami region is the perfect setting for our canoe trips.  Campers are quickly assigned to a group, their “section”; sections travel together on multiple trips of increasing length during the summer. Sections travel (making loops in the surrounding region) and camp on the shores of new lakes and rivers at night.

Travel days are filled with paddling, swimming, portaging, storytelling, singing, swimming again, cooking meals and snacks and making and breaking camp.                                                 

Rest Days (non-travel days) are often scheduled for a spectacular campsite on a beautiful lake, a fun place to swim, an old growth forest to visit, a superb fishing spot, or a good place to wash clothes.
