Kayak on the moira river
I did it, I kayaked the part of the river that I wanted to kayak! 1 month ago

I put in at the bridge and went upstream. There’s an island in the water and lots of blue herons. I made a lot of videos which will be called Kayaking the Moira River on www.youtube/nancytoday.

I’ve wanted to do this for 12 years. I never thought I’d really do it because you have to have two cars, etc. But not if you just go from the bridge and back again!

There’s a boat launch right there at the bridge, too! Yippee!

Start a Creativity Camp and Artist's Retreat (read all 6 entries…)
Women's back to nature retreat June 29-July 6, 2009 Alternate dates possible $490 8 months ago

Description
Six days and five nights of fun, arts, crafts and relaxation in the hills of Eastern Ontario, Canada.

Depending on the interests and stamina of the guests, we will do two to three crafts a day and spend time with nature.

Crafts can include sketching, painting, making a willow basket, a birchbark towel holder, soap, paper, a birchbark covered journal and a hammock. Guests may feel free to suggest other crafts they see at our retreat.

We can learn to make a labyrinth, how to build a tipi, and how to identify and harvest some common wildfoods.

We will spend time sitting alongside the babbling, winding stream, lying in our hammocks in the shade, playing drums and other rustic instruments around the campfire.

Guests may sleep in our tipis, may camp in their own tent in the spacious yard or the woods, by the stream or one of the ponds.

If they prefer, they can find accomdation in local B&B’s. We will eat homestyle meals together around a campfire where we can also learn firebuilding and how to cook with a dutch oven.

Other options may include, learning about growing willow for baskets; visiting osprey nesting sites, a porcupine’s home, beaver ponds. If they are in bloom on time, we can visit the largest collection of pink lady slipper orchids in North America. We can hike to and enjoy a spring as well as a spring-fed stream.

We can take nature walks through Ontario wildlands. We may opt for some kayaking or swimming.
