Join us for our September “Bondi Trip”

Bondi Resort Sept 9-13, 2024

Are you interested in joining our canoeing adventures in the Algonquin area?

We stay in a beautiful historic lodge on the shores of Lake of Bays.
We divide the group into 4 teams, each taking responsibility for one breakfast and one supper.
Everyone takes care of providing their own lunches to take on our canoe trips.

The cost for the 4 nights is about $400.
Although we canoe during the day, at night we also have games, a wolf howl, star gazing and a campfire.
There are lots of trails on the property and even an ultimate frisbee course.

If you are interested or want more information contact Anne Woolner 
Email: annewoolner@hotmail.com or
Phone: 519-743-2277.

We only have 4 spaces left, so don’t miss out on the fun!!!
