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
