“Since 2006 I have had the opportunity to participate in Glenn’s canoe trip program. The trips have one week long excursions into Killarney Provincial Park, west of Sudbury.
As a high school teacher, I am aware of the importance of trips that are safe, well organized, and provide unique learning experiences for adolescents. Glenn always provides a detailed trip itinerary, outlining all necessary information such as daily schedules, and required gear for campers. Under his supervision, I have always felt safe and secure in his planning skills and camping expertise.
His knowledge of wilderness trips is both informative and engaging; I have seen high school students come away from Glenn’s trips with a better understanding of the outdoors, first aid techniques, and map reading. With Glenn’s easy going nature, and patience with teenagers, it is easy to understand why the students hope to return the following year. Just as importantly, the students acquire personal skills such as independence, initiative, and cooperation through daily activities planned and supervised by Glenn.
I would recommend Glenn’s trips to any teacher or parent seeking a safe, organized outdoor experience that provides the opportunity for adolescents to enhance personal growth and develop camping skills.”

"Glenn coordinated and led a 6 month project that taught me and 16 other young adults conflict resolution techniques and adventure initiatives, then put us in community placements where those strategies could be put to use. The program was a huge turning point in my life and part of the reason I work with teens now. His passion for helping youth grow and learn is amazing. I would whole heartedly recommend any program Glenn is involved in. He's a gifted organizer, a committed leader, and a ton of fun to paddle with. In my day to day work with teens, I often find myself using tools and activities I learned from Glenn."

"Glenn organized a 10 day trip into Killarney Provincial Park for our group that was executed with the same level of attention to detail that made all his teambuilding activities both fun and challenging. Since then I have also had the opportunity to know Glenn personally and can confidently recommend him as a highly qualified guide, leader and trainer with a refreshingly easy going nature."

from the leaders will stay with her for a lifetime..."
