"What sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly and inescapably than any other. Travel one thousand miles by train and you are brute; pedal five hundred miles on a bicycle and you remain basically bourgeois; paddle one hundred miles in a canoe and you are already a child of nature" - Pierre Trudeau

Summer trips with Camp Outlook begin in late June and continue through till the end of August. Surrounded by the spectacular beauty of Algonquin Park you will embark upon an incomparable camping adventure. Breathtaking sunsets, fantastic wildlife, paddling over pristine lakes and rivers and cooking hot dinners over a campfire are but a few of the experiences you will encounter on a summer trip with Camp Outlook. But what makes all of these experiences even better are the incredible people you will share this adventure with.

A typical summer trip consists of a 9 day canoe trip in Algonquin Park with a maximum of 5 fellow campers and 3

trippers. While all first year campers will participate in a 9 day trip, there is a possibility for returning campers to attend our 15-day end of summer trip. While the length of the trip at 9 days may seem daunting to a camper at first, being in the park together as a group allows for a challenging, yet wonderfully rewarding and enjoyable time.

Interested in joining us for a canoe trip this summer? Or perhaps you know a youth who would enjoy tripping in Algonquin Park? Referral and camper applications for the summer program can be accessed here online starting in late winter or early spring of each year. We look forward to hearing from you!
