Great group to run into while in Quetico. Always very enthusiastic and boisterous.

We saw a group of them in 2013 portaging into Burt Lake. Those canoes are huge!

I saw them, too, but they were in bigger red canoes.

It's an Atikokan youth summer program. They teach kids wilderness skills, among all the other things a kid needs to know growing up. They send them out individually to spend a night alone, too, after they are a few days in. The groups I have met have been young females. Tough courageous young ladies is what I saw.

I've talked to the leaders before out there. It's a blessing someone still cares for the kids. Not saying people don't, but we need as much of this as possible.

Here's their Facebook page

Saw two canoes like this in Quetico last week. They looked like they were camping eleven per site.
