Red Wolf: Wayfinder Camp

Wayfinders is a unique summer experience, blending canoe tripping, bushcraft skill-building, and leadership training for the ultimate backcountry adventure. It combines the best of both canoe trips and nature camp experiences!

Splitting their time between Red Wolf basecamp and a multi-day canoe trip through Temagami, Wayfinders develop competencies in canoeing, navigation and map reading, portaging, water safety and rescue, campsite setup and care, and wilderness skills. This gives participants the opportunity to both experience the excitement of backcountry travel and slow down to fully immerse themselves in the environment. Like all Pine programs, naturalist knowledge and wilderness skill development (e.g. wildlife tracking, wild foods foraging, plant and animal identification and bushcraft skills) will be centred in their experience. They also have the opportunity to build their leadership skills by mentoring younger campers.

By building advanced wilderness skills, taking measured risks, and learning from their mistakes, teens build resilience and confidence in their own abilities. They leave ready to tackle whatever challenges come their way – whether it’s a rain storm, a difficult class at school, or a tricky social situation.
