    Hi All, My name is Andy and I live in Stouffville, ON. I have been canoe tripping ever since I was a kid. I was lucky enough to learn a lot at YMCA Camp Beausoleil (no longer there) and graduated to staff. I retired (for the first time) in 2015 and now have the time to increase the quality and quantity of my trips. I have a special love for far north trips and have been lucky enough to do a several of them. While I am a strong intermediate-level paddler, I like to slow things down and connect with nature.

    Hey Andy! Nice to meet you!

    Was YMCA Camp Beausoleil on Beausoleil Island in Georgian Bay? I went to CQE which is also on the island!

    Yes it was on the west side of Beausoleil Island. It was run by the Toronto YMCA and was shut down in 1981. Both of my kids went to Kitchi. I am very familiar with Queen Elizabeth. It is on a very nice spot on the north of the island.
