This is an outdoor adventure you don’t want to miss! Wild camps build important core memories through the unforgettable challenge of a canoe trip, the excitement of learning new skills, Bible-based lessons, and the fun of a small camp, all in the beautiful backdrop of Saskatchewan's gorgeous rivers systems. Even if you've never been on a canoe trip before, our trained and experienced guides will train you in paddling and camping, and will help you overcome obstacles, helping you build character that will last a lifetime.

We provide the food, tents, supplies, and canoes; campers are responsible for their personal effects and bedding. Campers must be mentally and physically fit and ready for a challenge, i.e. able to walk at least 3km daily wearing a 20lb-40lb backpack as well as paddle 6-8 hours daily.
