Susan Sheppard – Page 8 – Sue's Outdoor Crew

Author: Susan Sheppard

Hello! I grew up in Newfoundland and after graduating university, moved to Ontario with my future hubby, and searched for that coveted career. After some part time jobs, I headed back to Newfoundland to complete my teaching degree and since then have been teaching science, math and outdoor education here in Ontario. I love the outdoors, I love teaching, and I am glad to have been able to combine both those things into my life. We have done lots of traveling around Canada and the Upper Eastern States, and I am looking forward to sharing my love for adventure with you. I have been blogging since 2010, but it has been very off and on. I am determined to share what I know, what I have learned, in hopes that I will inspire someone to get out there and explore. I know my son, who was born in 2008, has been having lots of fun with us and my wish is that he will also be able to share his experiences one day. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.

First Kayak Camping Trip – Part 3

Disaster struck as I woke to prepare breakfast for us on Sunday morning. Inside the Ursack, a couple of the farm fresh eggs I had brought cracked open and oozed everywhere.

First Kayak Camping Trip – Part 2

Waking up to the sound of rain drops on the tent at 3 am and the urge to get up to use the bathroom. That’s how my Saturday started. So, I waited until there was a break in the rain so that I didn’t get wet while I made my escape into the darkness, before crawling back into my tent and falling back to sleep until late morning.

First Kayak Camping Trip – Part 1

New adventures can be exciting or scary, but this particular adventure – my first time kayak camping in Georgian Bay – was both!

Families Paddling Together

It seems as though Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park is the theme for our adventures the last few posts. This park is conveniently close to us and provides some great overnight and day paddling adventures. This adventure took us to a different area of the park with another set of family friends.
