Our first group camping trip of the year! We're visiting the iconic Algonquin Park, famous for it's massive untouched wilderness, plentiful wildlife and mindblowing scenery.

We're staying at a front-country group site on Whitefish lake, making this an easy introduction to camping for those who haven't been before but also has plenty to offer for more experienced campers.

The Victoria Day long weekend is traditionally the beginning of camping season in Ontario and with luck, it should be pretty warm! We'll be leaving on Saturday morning, returning Monday afternoon.

You'll get to experience all of the things that make camping incredible like:

- Stargazing under the clearest skies you've ever seen

- Eating delicious food and bonding with friends around a campfire

- Swimming in crystal clear lakes

We also have some special activities organized for this trip. We'll be teaching a group canoe lesson then taking you out to explore the islands of Whitefish lake. For those who are up for it, you'll have the option of hiking one of Algonquin's most iconic trails.

If you're new to this, you'll learn to set up camp, start a fire, how to cook outdoors, purify water and any other skills you'll need to join our back-country trips later in the season. The campsite has running water and toilets so you can be as rustic or as comfortable as you feel like! You'll have a comfortable tent pad and spacious tent to sleep in - you may be surprised how well you sleep.

This trip is suitable for all members and super affordable, at about half the cost of what you would find anywhere else.

What's included

This trip is professionally guided and includes all camp meals and cooking equipment, tents for you to sleep in and canoe rental. We have cheap equipment rental for those who need a sleeping bag and sleeping pad.

Before the trip we'll be sharing a detailed packing list telling you absolutely everything you need to think about and pack, as well as an info session to ask any outstanding questions so you can turn up feeling totally prepared, ready to have an amazing time with the WU crew.
