Transportation and Gear

We've taken the hassle out of organizing adventures. With our own transport and ever expanding gear library it's never been easier to get outdoors

Transport

We offer reasonably priced transport that's often more affordable than self driving for most of our adventures. Meet our dedicated, fully insured van, Grasshopper. Not only have we removed one of the biggest barriers to getting out of the city, but we also offer fun road-trips that are as much a highlight as the planned activity.

Typically $20-$60+HST according to distance

Winter snowshoeing

Gear Library

Outdoor activities require a lot of equipment. We've got our own library of snowshoes, full camping set-ups and paddling gear to power our adventures. Most gear is available to you on our adventures for free and we've negotiated discounted rates for those occasions where we're hiring from third parties.

Typically provided at no cost

Special Adventures

We offer an infinite variety of other adventures that don't neatly fit into one category or another. This is where you'll get to try a new sport, learn a new skill or simply discover something new.

New Sports

So many activities, so little time. Get a taste for something new at our one-off activity intros. Learn archery, go dog sledding, try winter camping all under expert instruction. There's a whole world of activities out there for you to fall in love with.

Outdoor Education

Build confidence and deepen your appreciation for the outdoors with our education program. We offer advanced navigation classes taught by top military instructors, wildlife safety by Ontario Parks staff and a full introduction to camping series.

Day Tours

There's so much culture to discover in the small towns and villages around Ontario - we'll help you experience life outside the city. Visit small mennonite communities, learn about regenerative farming, explore old industrial towns and finish it all off with a visit to a brewery.
