In Northeastern Ontario, Canada, a canoe camping and wilderness experience in existence for 125 years, brings young people to extensive northern waterways within the Hudson Bay Watershed. Learning cooperation and wilderness survival skills while experiencing vast open spaces brings vitality to the human spirit. My daughter was among those this summer who traveled in areas familiar for centuries to trappers and indigenous communities alike. A simple life brings togetherness and an experience of belonging to the natural world that often is too far away from today's cultural touchstones.
