Longacre Expeditions
Wilderness Adventure, Service, Language, and Cultural Immersion	USA, Canada, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Virgin Islands, Tobago, Ireland, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand
Character-building adventure travel in world-class settings. Groups of 10 - 15 students and their leaders are an ideal size to foster leadership skills, effective communication, confidence building, and fun. Each 15 - 40 day expedition is co-ed, grouped by age, and offers a different mix of activities: snorkeling with dolphins, Spanish immersion, and community service in Honduras, cultural trekking and service in SE Asia, digital photography and falconry in Ireland, surfing and biking in Oregon, scuba and service in Hawaii and the Virgin Islands, white water kayaking in Maine and Pennsylvania, mountaineering and rock climbing in Colorado, sailing and snowboarding in British Columbia. Complementing our daytime activities, we often finish our days with evening meetings. These sessions further bond the group together and help kids speak from the heart with confidence. Families who know us best understand that the Longacre Experience is two-fold - we emphasize both the physical and the interpersonal.

Hundreds of children from NB, PEI and NS travel to Thorburn, NS where they bunk in cabins on the banks of the Sutherland's River. In addition to Salvation Army-run camps, Scotian Glen hosts camps for the Nova Scotia Cancer Society, Nova Scotia Firefighters Burn Treatment Society, and the Nova Scotia Hemophiliac Society.

Activities such as canoeing, swimming, hiking, archery, horseshoes, volleyball, soccer, baseball and basketball fill the days. Days end by the campfire with a sing-a-long and marshmallow roast. Scotian Glen makes memories for kids that last a lifetime in a safe and caring environment.

Oak Acres Children's Camp is a not-for-profit summer camp for children aged 7-12. The children are not charged a fee for attending. Our staff consists of a combination of paid, trained counselors and volunteers.

The campers at Oak Acres have the opportunity to participate in many activities including horseback riding, archery, orienteering and hiking, arts and crafts, swimming, canoeing, and low ropes initiatives. The campers are placed into gender based cabin groups of 5-8 children. Each group has a counselor who is directly responsible for the care of the children during their stay.

For one week a year, children aged 7-15 years of age, living in Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island, and living with cancer, brain tumour or a bleeding disorder can enjoy the experience of going to summer camp. A brother, sister or friend may accompany the camper for a week of swimming, canoeing, arts and crafts, outdoor education, camp fires, special programs, meeting new friends, and growing - a week they will never forget.

Outward Bound Wilderness, a national nonprofit organization, offers over 500 adventure-based wilderness courses - year round - serving adults, teens and youth (ages 12+).

Course activities include rock climbing, sea kayaking, backpacking, mountaineering, sailing, dogsledding, canoeing and rafting in some of the most untouched wilderness areas across the nation. No matter the activity, courses focus on learning through experience, compassion, leadership and responsibility to both team and the environment. Courses range in length from 4 days to three months in length. Scholarships are available.

Since 1962, over 500,000 students have returned from an Outward Bound experience with a deeper knowledge of themselves and the world in which we live.
