4 Week LIT - Kipawa Provincial – Y Camp Pine Crest

The name Kipawa comes from an Algonquian word meaning “at the narrows beyond which more water opens out,” describing the countless closed-off channels that form the many arms, reaches and bays of Lake Kipawa. The watershed drained by the Kipawa River encompasses close to 6,000 square kilometers of mostly untouched forest and small lakes, much of it within Québec’s largest managed outdoor recreation zone, ZEC Kipawa, with secluded lakes, wild rivers, and uncrowded camping routes. Participants will travel for 20 days East to West across the ZEC, finishing at the Kipawa Government Dock on Lake Kipawa. Participants will also have a few days at camp to prep for their trip, and participate in other fun activities, as well as a few days at camp when they get home to share stories and enhance their leadership skills by engaging in meaningful leadership programming. Please note this is an all- gendered program, accommodations both on trip and at camp will be all gender." Skill Level: Intermediate. Experience and comfort with long canoe trips is suggested. What to expect: 5–7 hour paddling days, portages, less established campsites.
