1 OUTWARD BOUND CANADA S NAHANNI RIVER REACH BEYOND FUNDRAISING CANOE EXPEDITION AUGUST 25 31, 2016 Virginia Falls ABOUT THE TRIP For canoeists, paddling the Nahanni River is truly a trip of a lifetime. The Nahanni is an UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts visitors from around the world for its spectacular scenery. We will spend a week paddling 240km of river through this pristine wilderness. Nahanni National Park is located in the southwest corner of the North West Territories, and is approximately 500 km west of Yellowknife. Our trip begins and ends in the small town of Fort Simpson, NWT, where we will fly in and out of the Park. Outward Bound Canada will partner with Nahanni River Adventures (NRA) to run the expedition. NRA has been running trips on the Nahanni for decades and is the most experienced logistics provider on the river.

2 2016 ITINERARY WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24 Arrive in Fort Simpson, NWT. Meet your instructors and the group. Organize gear, final preparations. THURSDAY, AUGUST 25 DAY 1 After loading our supplies and gear into the floatplane we begin one of the major highlights of the adventure - the upriver flight. Flying over the majestic Nahanni Range and Ram Plateau, a visually stunning panorama unfolds in front of our eyes. You want to be sure to have your camera on your lap! Following supper in camp at Virginia Falls, your instructors will provide further briefing on the techniques for living comfortably along the river. A short hike and last look at the stunning scenery before bed will remind you that you are in one of the most scenic places on the planet. FRIDAY, AUGUST 26 DAY 2 We will make the final portage around the falls. The trail is downhill and well defined. You need carry only what is comfortable for you. Everyone pitches in to carry what they can and we take as long as we need to complete the task. It is impossible to spend too much time at Virginia Falls! After a late shore lunch and final briefing, we will embark in the late afternoon for an exhilarating run through Painted Canyon, also known as Fourth Canyon. Camp is finally made for the evening below Wrigley Creek. SATURDAY, AUGUST 27 DAY 3 We drift past the confluence of the Flat River and enter Third Canyon, the walls of which loom 1200 m above the river. We camp halfway through this canyon near The Gate. Those who wish may hike to the top of the canyon for a panoramic view. SUNDAY, AUGUST 28 DAY 4 Paddling through the Big Bend and Second Canyon and past Headless Creek we will find ourselves camped in the vicinity of Deadmen Valley. It was here, on the shores of Headless Creek, that the bodies of the McLeod brothers (minus their heads!) were found in 1905 and the legend of the Headless Valley was born. Downriver at Sheaf Creek, R. M. Patterson and his partner, Gordon Mathews, wintered over in Patterson later wrote Dangerous River, one of the most eloquent accounts of the early days on the Nahanni. Around the campfire, we will read from his book.

3 MONDAY, AUGUST 29 DAY 5 We start the day by challenging the big waves of George s Riffle and enter First Canyon, the deepest of all the canyons. Camp will be made at Lafferty s Riffle. You may choose to join a hike into Lafferty's Canyon. TUESDAY, AUGUST 30 DAY 6 After the waves of Lafferty s Riffle, we take a quick dip in Kraus Hot springs before bidding farewell to the canyons and entering the braided channels of The Splits. Here a broad valley is revealed and the surrounding mountains, ridge piled upon ridge, form a dramatic contrast to the enclosure of the canyons. Lush boreal forest bordered by steep ridges form a story book setting. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31 DAY 7 Paddling past the Great Dene Wall we will make our way to the village of Nahanni Butte. Stopping in the village we will have an opportunity to see this traditional community. Here we board a charter plane for our flight down the Liard valley back to Fort Simpson. You will need to book accommodation for this final night in Fort Simpson. The group will meet for dinner at a restaurant in town for a final farewell meal and good-bye. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 DAY 8 HOMEWARD BOUND - After a relaxing morning and time to look around the Village of Fort Simpson, you will board your homeward plane. THE DETAILS 1.

5 5. TEAM GATHERINGS We will endeavor to have a few team gatherings in the spring. The first gathering will be a meet and greet and discussion about fundraising, fitness training, and the itinerary. The second gathering will be to review the equipment list, finalize trip logistics, and check in to see how fundraising is going. We may also arrange a few training dates when team members can get together for a paddle on the weekend or in the evening. 6. FUNDRAISING Outward Bound Canada s mission is to cultivate resilience, leadership, connections and compassion through inspiring and challenging journeys of self-discovery in the natural world. We believe that a meaningful experience is created when you reach beyond yourself and give back to the world around. To this end, we set a goal for each paddler to raise a minimum $3000 for Outward Bound Canada s Core Funded Programs: Women of Courage Program for survivors of violence and/or abuse; Veterans Program for military service men and women transitioning back to civilian life; Youth Leadership Programs focusing on: Aboriginal Youth, caught between cultures, dealing with challenges to self-identity, sense of belonging; Newcomer Youth, caught between cultures, dealing with challenges to self-identity, sense of belonging; Low Income/Under-resourced youth experiencing barriers to opportunity and achievement due to socioeconomic circumstances Outward Bound Canada, a not-for-profit, charitable, educational organization, has been running life-changing programs across Canada for 45 years. While almost anyone can take an Outward Bound experience, our programs are most impactful for those who are experiencing transition in their lives i.e. youth transitioning from dependence to independence, young adults transitioning to the workforce, adults transitioning from the workforce to retirement. In response, Outward Bound Canada has developed specialised funded programs for populations who are living with significant challenge in their lives, or who have experienced trauma or crisis. These programs provide the participants with the appropriate challenges and supports to build resilience, increasing their capacity to transition from a place of crisis to a position of strength. Our funded programs impart to participants the confidence, skills, energy, and inspiration to transform their lives in the most fundamental ways. In addition, the success of each participant benefits not only the individual, but also helps the families and communities in which the participants live, go to school and work.
