Pine Crest
Description
The Moisie River is considered by many to be one of the most rugged wilderness canoe routes in Eastern Canada. The Moisie offers spectacular scenery, challenging white water and a true wilderness experience. The challenge level of the Moisie is a perfect climax to the Pine Crest Leadership skill progression. Participants are required to take a high level of responsibility for themselves and for the safety of the group, dealing with decision making and risk management on a daily basis. They have an opportunity to visit a spectacular part of Canada on a river that they wouldn’t be able to run without prior skill investment
With it’s headwaters in the remote Labrador Plateau, the Moisie slices through a series of canyons and gorges and finishes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and is the longest, largest and most powerful of all the rivers of Quebec’s North Shore region. This trip is sure to meet or exceed your expectations.
The Moisie is also considered one of the best salmon fishing rivers in Canada.
Participants will spend roughly 27 days on river and will use time on site before and after trip to continue to work on their leadership skills through multiday placements in different areas of camp as well as through stewardship projects. Please note this trip is an all-gendered program, accommodations both on trip and at camp will be all-gender.
Skill Level: Advanced. Experience with extended canoe tripping and white water paddling is required. Participants must understand scouting and how to follow paddling lines, complete eddy turns, and swim confidently in moving water. Confidence sterning in white water is ideal. Participants are required to be able to swim 160m and tread water for 2 minutes.
What to expect: Seven to eight hours of paddling each day, Class I-III white water, lining boats, and some portages on rough terrain.
