Come discover the magical place we've hidden in the forest!

Our home, the Edge, is a welcoming sanctuary for nurturing yourself with healthy food, fresh air, intimate conversation, and unique learning opportunities. Meet passionate facilitators, teachers and guides who invite you to rediscover yourself and reconnect with the natural world. Travel with us in Algonquin Park and listen to the whispers of the spirits of nature and receive their ancient wisdom.

Northern Ontario Sunset

Discover your creative edge! Canada's Group of Seven was inspired by the beauty of Northern Ontario's lakes, rivers, and forests. Now, so can you be. Whether it's painting, drumming, yoga, sculpture, cooking or writing join us at the Edge for lodge-based creative arts learning experiences as well as Canoe Trip learning/paddling experiences in Algonquin Park.

The Edge is a unique sanctuary for the beginning or experienced paddler looking for a canoe or kayak trip that combines a learning experience with extended time in nature. In addition to scheduled 3-7 day excursions we specialize in creating one-of-a-kind Algonquin canoe trips for groups with 3-27 participants.

Shamanic studies

The Edge is proud to present Foundation for Shamanic Studies basic and advanced workshops. We also offer shamanism programs that celebrate the unique cultural heritage of distinct cultures from around the world, as well as our own Shamanic Canoe Trips and Vision Quests in Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park. Shamanism opens a doorway to the world of myth, ritual and symbolism for the inquisitive spirit in each of us.

Special Events like Drumming at the Edge and our Yoga Canoe Trips bring people together to celebrate diversity and inspire soulful interactions. Last year we hosted a visit with Tibetan Monks. Corporate Events and Customized Learning Travel packages are our specialty.

We've been offering customized group packages since 1993. Our Corporate Quest programs are tailor-made Year Round solutions to meet the needs of Corporate Meetings, Team Building and Incentive programs. Program components often include a diverse combination of Team Challenges, Arts (watercolour painting, mask-making, drumming), Backcountry excursions (mountain biking, hiking, nordic skiing, snowshoeing), Canoe Tripping (day trips and overnight excursions in Algonquin Park), and Goal Setting and Visioning workshops.

Rates for program components are all-inclusive including meals, accommodation, program facilitation, as well as permits and use of out-tripping/adventure equipment.
