Until the summer of 1987, Les Voyageurs limited its activities to trips in the area east of Lake Winnipeg. Since that time our program scope has expanded to include an advanced experience for participants who have completed at least one prior expedition.

The Far North Program is defined by additional development of skills and character by:

  • Psychological and Physical Challenges

  • Increased Involvement in Planning

  • Increased Leadership Opportunity

  • Another Fun, Exciting, and Safe Wilderness Adventure

  • Learn Advanced Wilderness Camping Skills

  • Experience a New Crew

  • More Extreme Conditions
