For Wild Northerner

Nothing beats waking up on a hot summer morning, fog lifting off the water, and everything coming to life around you in the tranquil surroundings of camp. Standing on the dock, you take a sip of coffee, hear the haunting call of a loon in the distance, and embrace what the day will provide you. The possibilities are endless when you are disconnected from your everyday life and in a care- free, easy going environment of northern Ontario.

Your fellow campers have breakfast starting on the stove and the smell of bacon drifts past you with the cool morning breeze. These natural surroundings have filled you with joy and excitement as you head back in to start your day.
