canoe/camping + electronic music weekend      

Boreal is a group camping trip for approximately 100 people with a major twist.

From Toronto we travel north by bus together to a beautiful lake or river, canoe to a magnificent and secluded camping site, set up and build the weekend around a fantastic Saturday night party where DJs spin, we dance around fire, swim in rapids and enjoy the fantastic music and natural surroundings.

Each summer we return to Muskoka where we paddle her lakes and rivers which wind there way through totally undeveloped hardwood forest and over the rocky landscape of the great Canadian shield, the oldest rocks on earth. It's a lush area with diverse landscape and wild life including moose, beaver, turtle, snakes and fox. We go to the perfect secluded spots with magnificent swimming and camping

Each year great enjoyment is derived from the many new people joining in meeting on our bus for the first time. Throughout the trip everyone gets to know each other, and by the end of the weekend someone apart from our group would think we've all know each other for years. This is what makes Boreal so special - its what it is all about : bringing like minded people together in the out of doors with shared experiences that build great bonds that last
