Welcome to Canoe Camp! Every one is unique, just like the canoes. I make camp where the trees are, which can be quite a challenge! It can be on a beach, by a river bank, in the woods, in somebody's yard, in a park, or even at a festival! Wherever Canoe Camp is, the tree brings it's own DUGOUT CANOE MAGIC! A strong energy fills the air, and smiles arrive in mass quantities. The camp attracts people from all walks of life, many of whom have never seen a DUGOUT CANOE before. Before long, these new friends pick up an ADZE and start CHOPPIN'! This is what Canoe Camp is all about!
Whenever possible, I invite local schools to bring the children down, and let them learn a little woodworking, history, teamwork,creativity, canoeing, and patience (my favorite). I would like to work with schools more often, when I can. If you are a teacher, or know of anyone who might be interested in having their own Canoe Camp, please have them contact me! I'm especially interested in camps along the rivers! The excitement generated can be quite a "draw" for whatever area we come to! I just need a place to camp/stay (with "fine facilities"), where I can fling some chips, and make a little noise. If you want to KEEP the canoe, please visit the "Custom Canoes" section on this site. Completed canoes are available in the "Store."
CANOE! CANOE!

Ol' Red, one of TWO beautiful redwoods that came to me on the beach in California.
A remote, difficult spot in the woods, but ALSO somebody's backyard!
Sometimes the camp is perfect, but the tree has a mind of it's own!
