Outtrips

Whether your group is looking for an introductory two-night canoe trip or an extended wilderness leadership trip, Camp Queen Elizabeth has a outtrip program to suit your needs. The unique environment of a canoe trip allows participants to develop leadership, problem solving, communication, and decision making skills along with the skills needed to live in the wilderness. Participants gain a sense of both group and individual accomplishment when learning how to properly paddle and portage a canoe, how to read a map, help cook a meal, and so much more. CQE staff members also focus on how to be stewards of the environment and participants learn how to appreciate the natural world while leaving as little impact as possible. By being placed in new challenging situations together, the group learns about interpersonal dynamics and the value of teamwork in accomplishing a task.
