12-Day Explorers Woodsies (Ages 11–12)

Boys and non-binary campers aged 11 to 12 can explore the hundreds of acres of forested wilderness on the Kanawana site, led by our experienced and well-trained guides.

Campers spend most days in our Regular Residential Camp program while also preparing and training for their three- to four-day camping trip at Papineau-Labelle Wildlife Reserve, which will combine canoeing and hiking components. All our trips are centred on teamwork and community living while helping campers develop their own leadership skills. Explorer campers will stay in cabins at camp.* If your child is gender nonconforming or transgender, please let us know so that we can ensure that they are comfortable with their cabin arrangement.
