  Description

  //I get lots of messages on here, I’ll do my best to get back to you//
  
  //Planning on having workawayers out again starting in July 2024//
  
  My outdoor adventure property is situated on 150 acres of riverfront land in Muskoka, Ontario. There is over 2km of private riverfront, and two waterfalls. In the summer the river is great for river tubing and swimming. It is a 1km long paddle or hike to the property from town (I live in town). I guide adventure tours at the land, offer accommodations and produce maple syrup. However, my main business is excavating & landscaping for cottages on nearby lakes. Pay is $17/hr. Will pay $20/hr for experienced skilled trades. 15 hours per week, 5 days a week. Building an outdoor adventure property!!
  
  I will not be hosting during peak bug season May 10th to June 30th.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Living off grid in the Canadian Forest. Your host is a paddler, maple syrup producer, builder, and lumberjack, so learning a lot about the rural country life in the forests of Central Ontario.
  
  Would be a good experience for two friends, a couple, or solo travellers. I will try to have 2-5 backpackers out at a time for the 2024 summer/fall seasons.
