  • Mission

    We use the outdoors, including wilderness canoe trips, to create a transformative environment in which our youth develop life skills, social competencies, and resiliency, thereby fostering their own personal success. We partner with our youth, supporting them as they carry these skills and successes forward to manage the complex challenges of their lives.

    About Us

    Through the power of the outdoors, we help youth transform their lives.

    We provide youth with the opportunity to experience wilderness canoe trips in northern Ontario each summer. We also offer recreational programs in Toronto throughout the year.

    Our focus is on youth who might otherwise miss out on the experience of outdoor adventure as a result of multiple barriers they face in their lives. These barriers may be economic, social, emotional, or learning barriers.

    Project Canoe is a Registered Charity established in 1977 and has served over 4000 youth.
