Annual-Canoe

WHAT: CIM Annual Canoe Trip
WHERE: 
Barron Canyon, Algonquin Park, Ontario
WHEN: Thursday June 19, 2014 – Sunday June 22, 2014
WHO: Adults (18+) with Type 1 diabetes

Looking to get out on the water, paddle in hand for a weekend? Want to meet some other Adults with T1 diabetes, share experiences, pick up some tips and tricks for living a healthy life with Type 1? Join us for the 5th Annual CIM Canoe Trip. This year’s Annual trip will cater to a wide range of skill levels and experience, but will be very limited in space. In order to keep our guide/tripper ratio low and to abide by the rules and regulations of Ontario Parks, we will be able to take no more than 14 participants. Need some canoeing tips? No problem! Basic skill instruction opportunities can be provided on Thursday June 19 – Let us know if you are interested!

WHERE ARE WE GOING? Glad you asked! This year’s trip will have us exploring the NorthEast region of Algonquin Park – The amazing Barron Canyon! We’ll invite trippers to join us on Thursday evening at Achray Campground. Achray is located just over 3 hours West of Ottawa. We will help to arrange carpooling and expect to have participants join from all over Ontario (and beyond!) This trip will begin at Achray, travel through the Canyon spending 2 nights in the backcountry, and will end at Squirrel Rapids on the Park’s boundary where we will have a shuttle arranged – no doubling back on this trip! Highlights of the Annual Trip will include visiting High Falls, the area’s Natural Waterslide, beautiful Opalescent Lake and, of course, paddling the Canyon.

GUIDES: Each of CIM’s backcountry trips are planned and facilitated by experienced guides – most of whom are living with Type 1 diabetes themsleves! CIM trips abide by all Industry Standards for wilderness tripping. All lead guides are Wilderness First Responder certified and have experience as both a participant and a co-guide on previous CIM trips. This year’s Annual Trip will be hosted by Lead Guide, Amy Burrows.
