Our basecamp spot is in a comfortable group site, that allows you to relax and get settled in while we do paddling and hiking adventures in the day. Opportunities to fish and swim are always a highlight of this trip, along with campfires and star gazing!   An added bonus is that there are very limited mosquitoes because it is in early summer, so the perfect time to go! 

This guided trip is great for paddlers of all levels, and anyone looking to reconnect with the great outdoors. It is a perfect trip to go on with kids, the right amount of play, adventure, delicious food, and time sleeping in a tent to leave them asking for more!  Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or a first-time camper, this trip offers an unforgettable experience in one of Canada’s most beautiful landscapes.

What Past Participants Had to Say

It was an absolutely perfect trip in all ways. Super well organized. They had to go with a backup plan when their original trip plan was sidelined by forest fire closures. They handled this so well and the backup option itinerary was stellar. Great food. Great company. Great location. Nancy is a master of everything. Matt was a super guide and teacher. Em rocked the gear.

Will

This experience exceeded my expectations and beyond. From the pre- planning information thru to the communication leading up to the trip was excellent. The level of detail in planning, the quality of the gear that we used, the expertise of our guides and the instructional on paddling techniques made this trip achievable for any skill set. The confidence of this team made the paddling trip a success.

Tracey
Nistowiak Falls 2025

Not only was the trip amazing, the best part was the new friends made. Every detail was thought of, from the three amazing meals a day to the adventures out of base camp that we set up at Little Stanley. The gear provided allowed for the best sleep in a tent that I have ever had.

Cory
Nistowiak Falls 2025

I really enjoyed meeting new people on this trip. We had a really lovely group! The food was great! I was impressed by the variety, selection, quality, and quantity. I did not go hungry, that’s for sure. (And I have made that delicious corn, tomato, and feta salad a couple of times myself!) Matt, Nancy, and staff are great trip leaders. Their calm, friendly nature along with their extensive experience put me at ease.

Shauna

We had an amazing canoe trip with Nancy, Matt and Em up at Stanley Mission...The trip was very well organized, great leadership, amazing food, great people and they spent time teaching us the paddling skills. It was amazing being on the water and taking in all the wildlife and amazing scenery. Was a trip of a lifetime and I will definitely go again! Saskatchewan is gorgeous. Thanks everyone for such a great experience.
