Outfitting Canoe Trip Adventures for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park
"Women in the Woods"
Ever wanted to take a wilderness canoe trip but didn't think you could?
You can do it and you should do it. It is an experience of a lifetime. We're not talking about the canoe camping trip where your camping companion reads the map, steers the canoe, sets the tent up, cooks the meals and does everything to make you enjoy yourself during the outing. We're talking about a trip where you participate fully and learn how to do all the things necessary to canoe camp in the wilderness. I know some of you have probably been told how to do things and have been expected to understand how to do it the next time, only resulting in frustration with your camping companion. We want you to learn the basics and enjoy the canoe country in a non-threatening environment, a learning environment.
What you will gain from experiencing a canoe camping adventure in this manner will amaze you. You will walk away with a sense of pride in your accomplishment. Your self-esteem will soar when you can pat yourself on your back for completing a portage or a paddle across the lake. And you will walk away with the confidence to bring others into the canoe camping wilderness on your own.
I know you probably have concerns about your canoe camping adventure. We hear people say things like,
"I'm not strong enough to carry the canoe."Here at Voyageur Canoe Outfitters we will ease your mind by telling you yes, you can do it. We will show you how to read the map, how to set up the canoe, teach you how to paddle the canoe and provide you with the right canoe that you will be able to portage. And if that isn't enough, then please join one of our guided women's adventures for a trip of a lifetime!
"I don't even know how to read the map."
"I can't set up a tent on my own."
Itinerary
You will arrive at Voyageur Canoe Outfitters on the first day of your session to meet the rest of your group and discuss your trip. After your routing session, you will pack up your personal articles and depart for 3 nights of camping and 4 days of paddling in the wilderness. Group participants will return to Voyageur on the 4th day and will spend the night in one of our luxurious Lodge Hideaway units to celebrate their accomplishment. Enjoy breakfast with us in the morning in our main lodge before you head for home with wonderful memories of your wilderness canoe camping experience.
Package
This package has been designed for women by women. It is a special menu that doesn't require hours of time cooking over a campfire. We figure we women do enough cooking when we are at home! This complete outfitting package includes everything you need for a wilderness canoe camping adventure. We provide sleeping bags, sleeping pads, tents, packs, food, canoe, lifevests, paddles and everything you need. You just bring your personal clothing, toiletry items and fishing gear if you want to fish. We send you a trip preparation packet prior to your trip to help you in the packing of your personal items.
