Love to camp, but hate the work? Longing for a local eco-experience, but don’t know where to go? Kim Cowan, long time wilderness trekker, today announced the launch of the Misabi Adventure Company. Operating on Lake Obabika in Ontario’s Temagami district, it is ready to host "glamping" campers this summer.

 

Glamping was just featured in the latest issue of Canoeroots and is ideal for those who long for a wilderness or eco-camping experience, but don’t relish the tedious planning and packing. Misabi Adventures solves these issues. With large tents, comfy beds and chairs—and a dedicated and experienced guide—who cooks up delicious fare, and prepares for tomorrow’s excursion (custom designed for each client)—there is not much left for the glamper to do, but thoroughly enjoy the experience.

As a long-time advocate of the preservation of one of our planet’s last stands of ancient white and red pine forests, Cowan has been canoeing and hiking its land and water for decades. "It’s long been my dream to share the Temagami wilderness with like-minded people," Cowan explained, "and after years of brainstorming and planning, and with the attraction of the ‘glamping’ experience, it’s now a reality."

For the eager, and the merely curious, details and contact information are available on their website, at misabiadventurecompany.ca.

About the Misabi Adventure Company:

Conceived years ago, the time was finally right for Kim Cowan to bring together his intimate knowledge of Temagami and his lifelong friendships with its local guides and aboriginal residents to launch the Misabi Adventure Company. "Misabi" is the family name of one of the company’s guides, Alex Mathias. An Ojibway elder and native speaker, Alex continues a 300-year tradition, that of living off ancestral lands.

Temagami is a region full of ecological significance, as it is one of our globe’s last stands of ancient red and white pine forests, and is steeped in aboriginal history—it is only a few years since 3,000 year old petroglyphs were discovered.

Already fielding inquiries, Cowan expects to host North American families, as well as the growing number of European travelers thirsting for a taste of true wilderness, Canadian style.
