This Weekend, I went to look at a new camp (I have been at my old one 5 years now).  This new camp is called Keewayden.  Keewayden is a very outdoorsy type of camp.  The very long trip up to camp is as follows:

  1. You fly up to Toronto.
  2. You take a five-hour bus ride (on the camp bus), to a dock (on a lake in the middle of nowhere).
  3. You take a speedboat (it makes a lot of trips) to the base camp (which is on an island).
  4. You spend two or three days at base camp (learning and resting).
  5. You take a 22-hour train ride to “the outpost”.
  6. From there, you take a: 5-day, 10-day and 21-day canoe trip throughout the whole of the northern Canadian wilderness!

On these canoeing trips, you see get to swim in natural, untouched lakes, see moose, bears (sometimes polar bears), fish, hike and canoe through the Canadian wilderness.  It is a lot of fun!
