EQUIPMENT
This is a backcountry program and ensuring your kids have the proper gear will make their experience more enjoyable. You don’t need to break the bank, they will be travelling, so think about keeping the weight of their packs as low as possible and that they fit well with plenty of padding.
EQUIPMENT LISTLOCATION
We are a primarily a mobile camp located in the Blue Mountain's region. We do not limit ourselves to one location but take advantage of the incredible locations that our backyard has to offer. We choose our destinations based on the theme and activity that we are engaging in as well as the days weather.
Parents now have the option to either drive their children to our destinations (the farthest of which is 25 minutes from Collingwood and 20 minutes from Thornbury) or take advantage of our new WILD BUS - which has convenient pickup / drop off locations in Collingwood, Craigleith and Clarksburg. We send out an itinerary, with program locations before Friday of the following week start date. We do ask that parents to remain connected with us to learn what is happening in the event of a plan change due to weather or unseen events.
