Canoeing is one of our greatest passions. We canoe for more then twenty years now. In the meantime we became a family with kids. Our children are already: 6, 12 & 14 years. We live in the centre of the Netherlands
(Hilversum), between woods and
small lakes (formed merely by the production of
peat). Canoeing is an ideal way of doing things actively together as a family. We prefer canoe
camping trips. We plan trips, during our holidays, from about one or two weeks on a river or lake. We pick area’s which are in line with the
abilities our open Canadian canoe
(WW1 in most cases) and which have an excellent water quality. Because we also enjoy swimming.
Canoe camping trips will give you the possibility to explore some leftovers of “wilderness” along the border of lakes or a
meandering river. It’s a fantastic
experience.
Impression of canoe trips:
This site we will give you an impression how canoe
trips with (young) children can be. The trips, on this site, are way back from our kids as
toddlers up to
recent.
We like to share our experiences. We possess a lot of know how which might help to answer questions you have about canoe camping with kids. We welcome your suggestions
to explore new canoe
area’s.
Requirements for our canoe trips:
We select rivers and
lakes for canoeing on water quality and if they are in line with the abilities of our open Canadian canoe. We prefer natural lakes and free meandering rivers. During our trips we do
wild camping or on a
campsite along the possibilities offered during the canoe trip.
