THIS TRIP IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF:
You enjoy the idea of sleeping in a tent for 2 nights
You like seeing the stars every night before bed:)
You are happy to spend 2 days away from the comfort of your own home
You’re interested in packing your food for the weekend and cooking only over a fire!
You want to steep in the beauty of Algonquin Park for 2 whole days!
You are willing to be part of a team!
You are comfortable with having some free time or downtime. Bring a book, or journal, or go out and look for cool plants! Only about 50% of the weekend will be facilitated by group activities.
You’re not a complainer! Your guides will do their best to support the group to have the best time ever! But we can’t control for the weather, or nature’s plan- if problems come up we’ll need folks to help find solutions! This might include helping to collect firewood, set up a tarp or otherwise help out the group.
You like to wake up to the sound of birds singing and the smell of campfire!
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ACTIVEDAYS
To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — you can take part in the hike, or wander off on your own adventure.
ActiveDays is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.
