As the new school year kicked off, The Element’s e1 (Grade 7 & 8) students eagerly set out for Lake Temagami. While canoeing across historic fur trade routes offered a glimpse of Canada’s rich history, it was the smaller moments that left lasting imprints on the young adventurers.
“I really liked the Odyssey trip. My favourite part was being around beautiful surroundings and being able to take photos to capture the beautiful area of Lake Temagami.”
Guided by the seasoned MHO Adventures team, the journey was filled with teamwork, fun challenges and a newfound appreciation for Canada’s scenic beauty. Evenings by the campfire, preparing meals and sharing stories stood out as memorable moments. The kids loved the camaraderie; setting up their first camp and navigating unknown waters were as challenging as they were fulfilling.
“During the Odyssey trip, I really liked the long-distance canoeing, and I liked sleeping in the tents, even though it might not have been comfortable, it was very interesting.”
Away from usual distractions and city noise, the students were fully immersed in their outdoor adventure. Looking back, it wasn’t just about history and adventure, but the friendships formed and the simple joys found in nature that made this trip such an unforgettable experience to start their year at The Element.
