Canoe Tripping in Killarney Provincial Park

This summer, Camp Celtic has expanded its outtripping programme to offer a one week canoe trip into the interior of Killarney Provincial Park, on the north side of Georgian Bay . This trip is open to campers with all levels of outtripping experience.


Back country camping skills that include paddling, portaging, fire-building, food planning, tent assembly, orienteering, group dynamics, leadership and the philosphy and practices of environmentally sound no-trace camping are learned during a preparatory week at Camp Celtic prior to departure. Campers will also be involved in camp games, campfires, and beach-time during the first week.


Along with the development of canoe tripping skills, campers have the opportunity to grow individually in a rugged outdoor setting, making friendships of a lifetime with other campers and experienced Celtic Counsellors. Outtripping allows campers to build self-confidence, teamwork abilities, life-skills, and a deep appreciation for themselves, others, and the environment.
