"CALL OF THE WILD"
TRIPPING ADVENTURES
LONG TRIPS FOR INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR CAMPERS
|

Camp Hurontario has always been well known for its excellent,
progressive tripping program. Campers 8-11 will have the opportunity
to take Bay trips in the area around the camp where we offer
trips in the Massassauga Wildlands Provincial Park which costs
a small registration fee for camper and staff entering the
Park. For campers 12-16, Camp Hurontario offers trips in eight
different regions of Northern Ontario and in Northern Quebec.

Canoe Tripping
Program |
|

|
 |
Specialized trips in the Magnetewan,
Restoule, and Pickerel River Basin are available and, for the
majority of our campers who are 12-13 years old, these trips
will be a part of their summer program. There is an additional
charge for these advanced trips to cover the high transportation
costs. Parental permission for some of these trips may be required.
Permission forms with detailed outlines of these trips will
be mailed with the confirmation package. |

Advanced Canoe
Trip Program |
|
|
|
 |
All boys who are 14 years of age
and older will participate in a canoe trip in a remote but safe
environment in the Chapleau Game Preserve where we own a well
equipped northern outpost. This is a popular program and we
are limited as to the number of campers who can take this opportunity
to explore northern Ontario. If you have a camper who is 13-14
years old, please register early.

Whitewater Tripping
Program |
|
|
|
 |
For campers who are 15 or 16 years
old, Hurontario offers the opportunity to experience the incredible
fun of white water tripping. This program involves an excellent
training course in the spring and then a choice of five AMAZING
river trips, which vary from 10 to 21 days in length. These
trips are very popular with senior campers and the numbers are
limited. In the spring, senior campers will have the opportunity
to choose one of these river trips or our senior northern outpost.

Again this summer, Hurontario will
be offering the truly most amazing two trips for those campers
who are 15,16 and17.
|
| Both trips will be offered if
the numbers are there for two trips - otherwise we will choose
the Hood first. |

CAMPERS 12,13,14
- A CHOICE OF FOUR EXCELLENT TRIPS
A) THE PICKEREL (5-6 DAYS)
Campers trip for 5-7 days on the Pickerel River, which is
north of Parry Sound off Highway 400. The trip encompasses
travel both on the River itself and travel on protected areas
of the Bay. The Pickerel River trip travels through beautiful
scenic areas dotted with old fishing camps. With several arms
of the river to travel, the Pickerel River offers excellent,
safe tripping. This trip is reached after a boat trip and
car ride from the camp.
B) THE RESTOULE (5-6 DAYS)
Camp Hurontario has tripped the Restoule River for the last
ten years. This is an excellent trip of seven days in length
and involves travel both on the Restoule and the French. It
offers wildlife, good fishing and few people other than trippers.
The groups travel by boat, then van, both to arrive at the
start and to finish the trip.
C) THE FRENCH RIVER (5-6 DAYS)
Historically famous as part of the trip route which the Courier
de Bois paddled, this trip involves both travel on the French
and the interesting Little French River. An excellent trip
of five to seven days' length, this trip offers exciting travel
on the river itself with few people in its upper reaches.
This trip involves a boat and van ride to and from camp.
D) THE NEW MAGNETEWAN TRIP (6 DAYS)
Campers trip from Lake Wawashkish to Brit. Several years ago,
the Government declared the Magnetewan River Basin a wildlife
preserve. As a result, it is ideal for canoe trips. The trip
on the Mag offers river and lake travel combined. There are
several routes with varying degrees of difficulty. The scenery
is spectacular, and the fishing is very good. The trippers
have the fun of van transportation to the river's start and
a pick up where the river enters the Georgian Bay. A great
new trip.

CAMPERS AGES 13-14:
A TRIPPING ADVENTURE
The MAGNETEWAN RIVER
9 DAYS
Several years ago, the Government declared the Magnetewan
River Basin a wildlife preserve. As a result, it is ideal
for canoe trips. The trip on the Mag offers river and lake
travel combined. There are several routes with varying degrees
of difficulty. The scenery is spectacular, and the fishing
is very good. The trippers paddle home through the 30,000
islands and enter the camp bay with beaming faces as they
paddle with synchronized vigour to the centre of camp bay!
In order to reach the Mag, a boat and van ride from the camp
are required.
The NORTH CAMP
10-12 Days
Over 30 years ago, Hurontario purchased a fishing camp on
Lake Windemere in the Chapleau Game Preserve. From this northern
outpost, senior campers experience an amazing tripping adventure
on lakes filled with wildlife, great fishing and still untouched
by the outside world. The campers travel by boat, then van
to Sudbury and finally by train to Lake Windemere - a trip
which takes a full day and in itself is an adventure! At the
North camp, there are many routes from which to choose. The
campers and staff discuss their route choices thoroughly before
leaving main camp. Senior campers who have taken these trips
say this highlights their stay at Camp Hurontario!
We are able to send four trips each month to the North Camp,
which is decided by the equipment needs of these trips plus
the space available at the North Camp. We will do our best
to assure all 14 year olds a trip out of the North Camp.
Due to extensive travel costs arising from special travel
arrangements necessary to
reach the North Camp plus travel costs which may be incurred
while at the north camp to reach destinations removed from
the actual Camp.
