Astronomy Lesson

This is a basic astronomy lesson with all the fun stuff and little math. We construct a scale model of our solar system, learn constellations, and if the sky is clear, we use a telescope to see the moon and do some astrophotography. The lesson ends with a short paddle to the middle of the calm lake at night and watching the stars and planets.

activities-sauna-1000px

Native-style Sauna

This is the most memorable, unexpected, and popular activity. Yes, we will build a sauna in the forest! A Muskoka clay face mask, sea salt body scrub, and eucalyptus oils will make this activity a paradise in Algonquin. Imagine 85C in a sauna in the forest on the edge of a river and then crawling out for a fresh swim.

Cliff Jumping

Simple but so much fun … climb, jump, swim, repeat. You can jump from 3-6 m.

activities-sunrise-paddle-1000px

Sunrise Paddle

Sunrise is the best time of the Park. Dead silent and absolutely peaceful. Only you, the loons, and the rising sun on a foggy lake. Best place to view the sunrise is always in a canoe on a small lake.
