July 12 - 15

French River, Ontario

The Women's French River is an excellent introduction to river canoeing, wilderness camping and whitewater just for women. We'll follow the route of the Voyageurs through easy rapids, camp on great shelves of rock by the river shore, enjoy diving rocks and swimming down swifts in the warm water. The pace is relaxed so we can play in the rapids, swim on hot days whenever we want, take pictures or take a long lunch. The sunsets are stunning. The meals are a treat. There is enough physical activity that you'll sleep well but you'll return from the French River refreshed, renewed and with a sense of accomplishment.

 

August 7 - 20
Northwest Territories, Canada
This wild whitewater river flows 370 km, dropping over 1,200 metres over its course, with large volume rapids, fast current and five beautiful canyons. It's a trip of a lifetime for paddlers with intermediate whitewater skills.  (Those skills could be obtained at the MKC women's week or other courses offered by either Black Feather Wildnerness Adventures or MKC)
