COOKING WITH
WILD

CULINARY FORAGING ADVENTURE
Every Monday
and Thursday, June through August.
$75 per person
or $125 couple
Get
your hands dirty in the Temagami wilderness in this workshop foraging
for wild edibles and medicinals. Gently hike in the forest and discover
a variety
of indigenous plants that each tell a story about Temagami. Then follow
the chef Caryn Colman into her kitchen and learn how to turn
them into dinner. Wild mushrooms, stinging nettle, day lilies,
dandelion, milkweed, rose petals and cedar are all fair game when it
comes to breads, appetizers and desserts. You'll die for our wild rose
ice cream!
This program is a combination
of taste, activity and learning, featuring regional, organic
ingredients
and use of Smoothwater amenities.
Extend your stay and see more of the fascinating Temiskaming-Temagami.
Drive off the Canadian Shield and visit the farms that feed
cities! Ask about our lodging and meal packages.

SUPERMOM
& DAUGHTER
CANOE TRIP
Dates to be
announced.....
Leave your role as supermom at home in
this unique and meaningful trip where moms are
taken care of as much as their daughters.
Rise and shine
with the sun. Bed with the stars. Explore and learn about native
animals and plants. Swim to your heart's content and hike the spiritual
ancient pine forests. Opportunities to bead, paint and enjoy
unstructured play will be balanced with structured quiet times to
promote inner stillness. A highlight of this trip is the opportunity
for a vision quest (as a solo or paired experience) to bring focus to
one’s inner strength and individuality.
Campfires, storytelling, singing
and stargazing abound. Lots of hugs
for ancient pines, but even more for moms and daughters. Includes tried
and true cuisine, dynamic guides (two per trip), all gear, crafts,
instruction and programs. Just bring yourselves and your personal
clothing.
