It’s inevitable that on canoe trips you are going to get a little messy, and that’s all part of the fun! A great way while on a trip to feel fresh and glamorous is to make face masks! The following is a face mask recipe that we have created!

A Letter to a Comic Camper in ’06
Your first Comic Canoe Trip is today and you’re about to trip for the first time. Maybe you’re nervous? Maybe you don’t think you will like it? Maybe you love camp so much you can’t bear the thought of leaving? Or maybe it’s the look on your face as you eat those stale bagels at… Read more »
The experience of a lifetime

Going into the Walden tripping program as a first year who had never experienced Walden as a camper, I did not know what to expect. I had been on many canoe trips both on my own time and as a camper at other camps and thought that tripping at Walden would be no different. This… Read more »
A natural waterslide
We woke up nice and early on our 3rd day of Zod trip, and little did we know what a wonderful day it would be. We packed up the tents, ate breakfast and left site. After a paddle, a 1km portage, and lunch, we arrived at High Falls Lake. The girls, Sam (the other tripper),… Read more »
Why I Trip

As a tripper for the past 3 summers, I’ve had the pleasure of being part of a program that continuously… Read more »

It’s your birthday, and you’re on Trip!!! #lucky

When a cabin member’s birthday is on trip, it’s amazing seeing the effort the cabin puts in to make their day a little more special. Whether it’s giving them the front seat in the canoe for the entire day, or getting to carry the “lightest” pack on the portages, it’s always amazing to see. The… Read more »
