Grand Valley is known for its great impressions. Many people ride along the river, pass through the forest, or drive past the First Nation, summing everything up at a glance. But in the Great Valley there is more than just a glance ... this is a place to experience! There are floating classes, hiking classes and Do-It classes ... where everyone can experience everything together, regardless of age, size or skill.
Using rafts as floating classrooms is a favorite. On the Grand River, the concept is simple ... learn about the river walking along the river. Because rafts do not sink or dip, non-swimmers and people with disabilities can enjoy the adventure. And enjoy, like them, with the learning experience!
During these floating classes the guides stop at cold springs. People dump water in the store and fill in the real stuff. There is an opportunity to see the abundance of birds and learn about them. Or identify wildlife / fish and find out what they are. People like to explore the wood plate that separates the trees. But the best experience is slipping from a raft and body floating in a gentle test ... the way of a lazy person!
A trainee class is another learning adventure, where the maximum experience and minimum distance. These hikes are about 5 km and offer a bit of everything. From the valley offers a breathtaking view. Talking about Lost Nations, talks about creating primitive tools and the opportunity to try wild edible plants. There are demonstrations of wildlife, building a fire without matches and visits to attractions. The pedestrian class is an adventure of the senses ... learn to recognize smell, taste and touch.
Do-It just learns in class. There are courses where people make a 6-day canoe trip in six hours. You can try the art of fishing on a boat or take practical fish training courses. There is an opportunity to visit the night safari owls and coyotes, with beer, lure for moths. Or a mentor with teachers who teach the primitive art of making ropes, bow-drills and flint flint. For the experiences of the First Nation, you can perform interactive dances or sing with Mohawks. But the main point for many is the night drifting study of the stars.
Most training sessions on the Big River are about four hours. Costs vary depending on the size of the group and the chosen company. The main areas in which these adventures are located are in Cambridge to the Brantford district in the Grand River, west of Toronto. If you are new to the field, use the Trip Advisor website to explore the company's services. It is important to have a great experience ... not a bad experience!
