REGISTRATION IS OPEN – Next Program: April 24th – June 4th, 2025
- River Roots is my favorite thing I have EVER done. Last year, I wanted to improve my outdoor skills through hands-on learning and River Roots proved to be the perfect choice for me. The program, designed by MHO, helped me achieve all of my goals as it gradually built my skills and challenged me to eventually be capable of leading the group through tough whitewater. The instructors showed incredible commitment to helping each of us achieve our goals. I left with many new skills both on the water and in camp. As we completed the last set of rapids, I was amazed by all we had accomplished, the sights we had seen, the memories we had created, and ultimately, the person I had become.
Gear
MHO Adventures provides all group gear including kitchen gear, tarps, canoes, safety equipment, etc. All you need to bring is your personal gear.
Refer to our Equipment List to see personal gear needs. We are paddling and camping in early spring in Ontario, so the water is cold and the nights are often freezing. We recommend investing in warm gear, specifically a Drysuit.
Extras
In addition to the Equipment List (which is specific to being on expeditions) we suggest bringing comfortable clothing and even a full size pillow for our classroom training days and travel days. MHO has one general use computer at the barn, so it is a good idea to bring a laptop or smartphone for personal communications and planning for lessons. This extra gear can be stored at MHO while on trip.
