Algonquin Park News, Events, Canoe Trip Adventures Blog
Perfect Winter Weekend? Yeah, I’d say add a little yoga practice, mix in a little adventure on the winter trails and top it all off with some of Gregor’s fine northern cuisines – Edge style. We put it all together and call it Downward Dog Sledding. It’s the perfect excuse to get up to the edge of Algonquin Park this winter…… btw, you might think about Yoga and the Zen of Winter as a nice back up plan – coming in March!

Ever plan a summer vacation with your kids without having your kids on THE vacation?
Our new partnership with Hockey Opportunity Camp makes that possible. Now the kids can get the vacation they want while attending summer camp in the same area as the parents are enjoying a holiday with other adults.
Northern Edge Algonquin and Hockey Opportunity Camp have partnered to offer the ideal Northern Ontario Summer Family Vacation that is customized to the specific needs of different members of the family.
Both Northern Edge Algonquin and Hockey Opportunity Camp (HOC) have been providing their customers with unique Northern Ontario experiences for many years. The only difference is that each experience meets the needs of two very different clients. Hockey Opportunity Camp offers camp programs for male and female campers from age 7-16 and Northern Edge Algonquin offers holidays and retreats designed for single adults, couples and friends.
HOC Camp Director Kevin McLaughlin explains that ”after seeing the beauty of Northern Ontario and hearing the positive experiences from their kids, we have received many requests from our parents to develop an adult camp, but are not equipped to do so. That is why we look forward to offering our parents a taste of the same experience with programs and amenities that suit their needs much better.”
Co-founder of Northern Edge Algonquin Todd Lucier says, “A lot of parents we meet tell us that a visit to the Edge has been on their bucket list for years, but because of family commitments in the summer they haven’t been able to visit. With such a great option available for their kids to have a great camp experience, it only made sense to tailor our offerings to mesh with one another.”
The family vacation can look something like this….
After dropping the kids off at camp on Sunday for a week, parents can take a scenic 35 km drive along the “old Almaguin Railway” to Algonquin Park to start their own three, four or seven day outdoor retreat or adventure experience.
While at camp, kids can look forward to participating in one of three main programs, picking the option that best suits the camp experience they want.
Parents pick the holiday that fits in with their adventure preference. Equally diverse options for parents include;
With such great opportunities for each family member to get the summer holiday they crave, the only question that needs answering is, “Who will have the best stories to share when it’s time to head home?”
