Grade 12 Algonquin Expedition
A long-standing tradition at Lakefield College School, and one that students often cite as one of their most memorable experiences, is the Algonquin Expedition.
Algonquin Expedition Information
The expedition is a three-night, four-day canoe trip in Algonquin Park. It is a chance for students to work in small groups, meet new students and form new friendships and lasting memories.
The Grade 12 Algonquin Expedition will take part during the grade experience week from Wednesday, September 14 to Saturday, September 17, 2022. We will endeavour to keep the integrity of this time-honoured tradition with appropriate safety protocols in place.
All students participating in the Algonquin Expedition must submit the Back Country Canoe Tripping Consent form (which is available on the online eRegistration system).
Student groups will be led by experienced, trained faculty/staff who will paddle and camp with them.
If you have any questions, please contact Peter Andras.
