    Description: The Teen Forest Canoe Route Summer Camp is offered by Western Educational Adventures (WEA) in partnership with the Western Educational Adventure Society (WEAS). When most people picture the West Coast—Vancouver Island, Campbell River, and beyond—they rarely think of canoeing on a pristine chain of freshwater lakes. However, Vancouver Island’s Sayward Forest Canoe Circuit offers a breathtaking and lesser-known wilderness adventure your teen will never forget! Campers paddle across lakes large and small, navigate calm, low-risk rivers, and challenge themselves with portages (traveling from lake to lake) while developing teamwork and outdoor confidence.

    Like all WEA programs, participants gain valuable hard and soft skills—learning canoe rescues, paddling techniques, portaging, camping, and outdoor cooking along with leadership, communication, and problem-solving abilities that last a lifetime. Sign up for our Teen Summer Canoeing Camp today and give your teen the ultimate outdoor adventure on Vancouver Island!

    **Ferry and airport pick-up/drop-off for campers is available for those traveling from out of town.**

Best of all they will be challenged and feel a real sense of accomplishment! They will also almost certainly SEA abundant marine life such as bald eagles, seals, sea lions, otters and maybe even some whales and dolphins! Join our Youth Summer Kayak Camp today!
