My Experience So Far
Stage 1
The Group 8 adventure begins in Kenauk Reserve in Montebello, Quebec. These Canadian Conservation Corps members will be learning backpacking skills and basic paddling skills before heading out to traverse the forests and waterways of the rugged Quebec wilderness area. Their training will cover a wide range of outdoor living skills that incorporate outdoor leadership, environmental stewardship and back country competencies. As always, they’ll be learning the benefits of teamwork and having a whole lot of fun!
