Project Canoe

For many of our youth participants, our canoe trips are their first experience immersed in the wilderness of a provincial park. With the help of our specialized, caring staff, canoe trips help youth develop a newfound appreciation for and connection to nature, and equip them in navigating the outdoors in a group setting.

This testimonial is an example of how the positive effects of a canoe trip last long after our trips; with core memories being created and youth gaining a boost in confidence, resilience, and the confirmation that they are capable of handling challenges and change that come their way.

📣 Registration is open for our summer canoe trips!

Open to youth aged 13–18, these trips are a chance for youth to learn new skills, build confidence, connect with others, and explore the magic of Algonquin Park.

No prior experience canoeing or camping is needed, and all experiences are offered with no financial barriers.

We are so grateful to for hosting the 2026 in support of Project Canoe. The Complete Paddler has generously hosted this event year after year, and there truly aren’t enough words to express our appreciation for their ongoing commitment, passion, and support. This year’s event raised over $4,500, which will help provide youth facing barriers with the opportunity to participate in transformative backcountry canoe trips in Algonquin Park. We’re only able to offer these life-changing experiences with no financial barriers to youth because of the generosity of partners and donors like The Complete Paddler and the folks that attended and supported this event. Thank you for making this possible 💙🛶
