Video Source: YouTube

This is a story about a slow, steady, strenuous all female adventure. Forty days spent canoe tripping in the Canadian wilderness. Wood on Water is also about the joy of nature and what happens when women and teenagers get together far from the stresses of everyday life. The girls spend a counter-cultural summer exploring their physical surroundings and inner selves free from mainstream society’s expectations. Over six weeks of summer, this all-girl group paddle traditional wood-canvas canoes through the remote northern wilderness, travelling a network of streams, lakes, rivers, mudholes and muskeg bogs, with one resupply via float plane. At the heart of this story is an American summer camp – but not as most people know it. The camp is called Keewaydin and it’s one of the oldest operating summer camp in North America.
