This unique journey is a canoe touring expedition.  Many days will be spent on flat water lakes and rivers, traveling through the North Woods.  You don’t need to have previous canoeing or climbing experience. When your course begins you will get a basic introduction to backcountry travel, and then you will quickly journey out into the wilderness, where the real magic takes place. 

The nature of paddling the lakes of Western Maine and the group interaction with people at a similar place in life are all aspects which make this course special for adults over thirty.     Your instructors are highly trained outdoor educators who act as facilitators of your experience. They are not “guides;” Instead they work to give you the knowledge and tools to be an integral member of a self-guided team.  They encourage you and challenge you throughout the course to take initiative, push your perceived limits, and be an active and sharing member of your group.
