The
ultimate experience in canoeing.
Located on the waters of the
French River in Ontario, Canada,
Scouts
enjoy the high adventure by
paddling more than fifty miles
on the various channels of the
river all in one week. A
rewarding and challenging
experience.
The
landscape is pristine and and
the sights are wondrous. This is
one of the most memorable
experiences a Scout can have and
this trip is a wonderful
adventure in outdoorsmanship.
The Greater
Cleveland Council of the Boy
Scouts of Americ
a
started operating Tinnerman as a
canoe base in July of 1963.
Scouts from all over the United
States are water-taxied from
Hartley Bay Marina to the camp
and outfitted for a week of
canoeing.The scouts canoe the
French River area from Nipissing
to Georgian Bay and the
Killarney area. Over 16,000
scouts and leaders have enjoyed
the "Land of the Joli Voyageur."
Since each scout is required to
do 10 hours of conservation and
clean-up work, almost 200,000
hours of work over the past 43
years, have helped preserve the
beauty of the French River.
