Accessing the wild for any significant amount of time with kids is challenging. Packing kids, diapers (clean then dirty), extra food, clothes and gear limits your range on foot. But moving over water in a portagable vessel with extensive cargo space allows families to travel great distances over long periods of time.
The goal of this site is to inspire you and your kids to choose canoeing as a way to immerse yourself in the wilderness together. It is both a photo journal of our many trips together and a series of stories and how-to guides for each trip.
We want to build the stoke by showing you some of our experiences and sharing some of the knowledge we’ve learned over the years on everything from gear, food, trip planning and anything else we can think of that will make you want to get out with your kids in a boat!
