CHILDREN

Having children of our own, We can appreciate the multiplier effect when you start adding the per person cost together for a family grouping. We have a special affinity for children, and a good understanding of their needs and family needs in the outdoors. Our own children have been paddling and dabbling on canoe trips since they were three and five. We know how to make family trips into special trips.

There are advantages and disadvantages to travelling in the company of other children as I am sure you are aware and I will be happy to meet your needs in this regard. I hope that this information will help to set you on the path to Bowron for next year.

With grandparents and three kids (10 - 5) we had some anxieties about doing this but Whitegold made it the trip of a lifetime. We had a wonderful introduction to the Canadian wilderness, we learnt to paddle and returned tired but well rested. Dave's knowledge of the area and its inhabitants is fantastic; his humor and his ability to enthuse children is exceptional. Jake (10) - 'He's quite a dude, and his jokes aren't bad either!' Thanks Dave. We loved it! - Jon and Ruth
