Need 2 or 3 recommendations of Canadian/Quetico Outfitters that work with youth groups. i realize any outfitter would take the business but i'm looking for the ones that enjoy working with youth.

Access point?? Anthony

Voyageur Wilderness Programme specialized in high school aged school groups but did outfitting as well. They are located on an island on Nym, so you'd need to be ok with a nym/Batch entry. Not sure if they would fit what your looking for but worth a look. Www.vwp.com

at this point it doesn't matter, just researching northern entries for two venture crews the second week of july. this group has had a bad experience with an outfitter that wasn't good with youth groups so that is the most important priority. they are traveling from the state of VA so i'd like to keep it top notch.

I am not exactly sure about the youth group thing but LaTourells has always been good to me. ~JOE~

Your reply was posted as I was posting mine ,so never mind about LaTourells.

I know a lot of youth groups use Canoe Canada in Atikokan. That seems to be the big one on north side.

I always recommend Canadian Quetico Outfitters for north side entries, Doug is great people.

But I'm curious what you are getting at with the youth group thing. Do you want a guide service, or just an outfitter? Because if it is just an outfitter, I'm not sure how it would even matter how tey interact with youths or any other group of people. I mean, unless someone was rude or unprofessional during the pickup/dropoff elements.

Like Bill said . . . last year I was coming out and returning my canoe when a BUSLOAD of youths were arriving. Bet they FILLED the bunkhouse! (Kind of glad I was leaving, lol.) --Goose

thanks for all your thoughts... i've shipped off the info to the person who requested it.
