Wondering what to do with your 10 to 14 year old kids this summer? Tired of the same old camps? Here is a new spin on the summer camp idea. How about sending them for 5 days of paddling the Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT) this summer?
The Northern Forest Canoe Trail is a 740-mile inland paddling trail tracing historic travel routes across New York, Vermont, Quebec, New Hampshire, and Maine. They have a Northern Forest Explorers Program that will run 12 5-day paddling trips for children ages 10 to 14. The cost is $100 per participant – which is about as good a deal as you can get for five days of fun and adventure that they will remember for their whole life.
