From the web site: This session is built around wilderness paddling - centered on paddling Canada's "Little North" and the Canadian Keewaydin Temagami canoeing camps. But keep in mind that you don’t need to be planning a major expedition to enjoy this session. Our two presenters have over a...

Keewaydin is having a virtual open house if anyone knows kids or parents of kids who might be interested.

This just popped up on my facebook feed, and is tomorrow (1/19) from 7-9 PM. **************** Benson Gray, a historian with the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association and member of the Gray family, some of the founders of the Old Town Canoe Company, will talk about how a small town in Maine...

Just stumbled across this quick review of, and link to, a short (40 minute) "Canoe film about snowboarding". "What if you loaded a hot tent and a quiver of split boards into big green canoes, and escaped the ordinary confines of Revelstoke? What if you paddled a route pioneered by Canada’s...

Just stumbled on this CBC piece about Chestnut canoes. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/chestnut-canoe-restoring-1.6474186

Was just out walking by the river and discovered three Ledyard Canoe Club boats that looked like they'd been abandoned after a joy ride, including one of their big Clippers. Have always wanted to take a closer look at one of them, and this was a nice opportunity. Also called it in because the...

For those on FB, here's a journal link from a family who tripped through Temagami for 30 days with little kids using traditional gear. Might even be able to access it without being on FB. Edit: Some traditional gear. https://www.facebook.com/At-Home-In-...6141567883208/

Couple of days ago I got a message from a friend wanting to talk solo canoes. He'd pretty much decided he wanted one, and wanted to know what I had and what I thought, etc, etc. We talked a bit, and knowing how infrequently solo boats show up in the used market around here I mentioned some...

As a former camper, I follow Keewaydin-Temagami on Facebook. This kickstarter is to fund a movie following one of their Hudson's Bay trips. Boys and girls do the trip, but this is the girls. Wood and canvas canoes, wannigans, tumplines, etc. Figure it would fit right in here. The link has a...

Friend of mine just brought this home. He thinks its got some connection to the Adirondacks, but knows nothing else. 16' 4" long stem to stern, 33" wide at the gunnels. Figured this was the place to ask. He didn't notice any markings, but will look again.

Kind of off the wall question here, but you folks have a lot of arcane woody knowledge and may have an answer. If not, no worries. My family has a family camp on a lake in Vermont. One of the buildings is a log cabin, and there's mildew on the inside walls. We're trying to figure how to get...

A 1946 OT Octa popped up on my local cl recently. I don't check often so the listing is a little old, but I thought I'd post anyhow. No relation to the seller, just thought someone here might be interested. https://columbia.craigslist.org/boa/5240732603.html

Hi all. New here. Will mostly lurk and learn, but may contribute now and again when the mood strikes. Got my start canoeing and tripping one summer at Camp Keewaydin back in the early 70s, but discovered ball sports and stick sports (and girls) the following year and never went back. Still...
