The Land Canadian Adventures is a multi-award-winning team of outdoor educators and wilderness guides in the North Kawarthas, and we specialize in four-season backcountry travel, experiential education and wilderness training across Ontario and BC.

We leverage the power of wilderness travel and nature connection to upgrade our visitors’ skills, demonstrate cultural and natural heritage, build leadership, and help teams overcome obstacles together.

The Land is our proudest professional achievement and now in its eleventh year, after thousands of participants, dozens of talented team members, and a boatload of awards for entrepreneurship, local focus and environmental stewardship, it is time to close this chapter of our work.  We are not taking on new projects at this time. 

We’ve been able to dream up and deliver powerful land-based programs across Canada for local, provincial and nationally-significant partners.  Now, we are looking for a new vision for how we will bring our blend of traditional skills, wilderness guiding and innovation in education to bear on a new epoch.  Most importantly, we are seeking additional training and credentials to be able to offer even deeper, more nuanced levels of value to participants. 

The Land has given us tools to deliver value from anywhere, including working with destination marketers to highlight their wild places, and experiential design consulting with organisations looking to boost their land-based programming.  Our core values provide a coherent foundation, so our work will surely continue along the uphill journey towards sustainability that elevates the planet and all its people over profit.

We are so grateful to all of the individuals and organisations who have trusted us to guide them out on the land and on the water, bringing them joyously closer to themselves and each other while deepening their sense of connection to our outdoor classroom. Huge thanks to our family and friends for their unwavering support throughout this journey also.

Since our inception, we have worked with several other outdoor education groups known in Ontario and further afield for their world-class guiding, certifications and land-based programs.  We are working with several of them to licence our program library, fixtures and introduce them to our closest associates in order to create a sense of continuity and make sure these programs continue to flourish in our beloved Kawarthas. 

 

Wilderness Guides

I upgraded my canoeing and swimming certs with the Land, and am so glad that I did; Not only are they professional certifications, but I’m more ready to rumble as an outdoor leader now, especially after the Spring Training expedition. Do it!

You brought all of your energy to this and the result was perfect. Overall, my experience working with the The Land was outstanding. Thank you both for being so awesome.

Experiential Travellers

The Land is on a path to ensure that everybody is listening to the stories that we find in the Canadian wilderness, but also taking a moment to embrace the silence, and listen to your own inner-voice.

My kids have both been on multiple trips with the Land. I have watched them grow from their various experiences. They have benefited greatly, becoming stronger in character and much more self-reliant.
