It is an age old formula/experience that still works especially today with social media/cell phones etc. I spent 5 summers at Wohelo in ME ( still run by the same family and founded by Luther Gulick in 1907). I am now in my 60's and those camp days and canoe trips remain the highlight of my life and changed me forever. The gifts/lessons/experiences that they provided remain at my core. I still paddle and trip, the call of loons touch my soul always, and some of those friends are still with me. To those parents who gave their girls such a gift, BRAVO! You and they will always be grateful! :-)
Ladies. You may be saving future generations….. what an awesome responsibility you have undertaken…..even though I will most likely be gone, I want to thank you for doing this. Building women who can believe in themselves,because you have taught them so much. And as they move forward in the world they have all these experiences to remember and rely on.
... What a fantastic film ... An amazing camp building strength ,,inside and out ... and character development to be leaders of their own environment ... well done ...
Keewaydin!!! My dad grew up going there. He just passed away a few weeks ago 😢 we still have our island on lake temagami that’s been in our family since early 1900s. Looking forward to going this summer and canoeing in his memory. Thanks for sharing ❤
Amazing journey.It is a special area .I canoed myself,my dog up in that area in the late 1980's .Much has changed since then but the wild bond of you, earth,water and your responsibility to it never left.I'm near 71 now, that truly was the heaven on Earth I sought , the rest has been living in its shadow of that memory, of a true wilderness,being blessed to be alive.Rt.10 Isolée forever!😢
Great story, great camp! Was astonished at portage technique of sticking your head between the box of the paddles, and then trying to stand up!! Yikes a trap! So much easier and safer to use the tip end of the paddles. Easy in easy out… put stern down, slide neck forward, rotate canoe with arms and set down. Reverse to place canoe from ground to shoulders!
No, you can't do it 'just as good' and that's ok. Some things you do better. Way better. This mentality of "we can do anything males can do' destroys natural relationships and dang near destroyed a program over 100 years old. Do your own thing. Be your own self. Stop chasing what the men do. Fantasstic film and edit. Watched it twice.
What a camp, what a story and what a documentarian! 👏 🛶
I have so much respect for these folks. I paddled part of that route earlier this year. Those portages aren’t easy or smooth.
As a proud dad of daughters, this really hit me in the feels. Well done all of you.
This was so invigorating to watch. :)

This was so epic and inspiring!!
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing. What an inspiration
When I was 14 I went on a 2 week canoe trip on the Bowron Lakes in Canada, it was an exciting wonderful, beautiful trip that I will never forget.
Wonderful!

And I grew up canoe tripping over in Algonquin park at camp Arowhon!
What a great story! I will be sharing this with my female canoeist friends and family!
It’s a trip you’ll never forget. Outward Bound was the best thing I ever did as a teenager.

what a trip! Awesome.
I was obsessed with getting a wooden Kayak, it’s just…different.
Really impressive canoeist. Make good canoe rangers in Ontario parks.
Beautiful, strong, Canadian women.
😍😍😍🙌🏻
