Dear Boundless Families: My rendezvous with the younger outdoor crew in the middle of the Dumoine river was planned for this past Wednesday, where I aimed to paddle my way to their Lac Robinson campsite around 5:00pm and bear gifts. I arrived 4 hours early, thinking I...

Dear Boundless Families: Every day I see deer, groundhogs, bunnies, beavers and storm clouds that never seem to release their load. Even when it does rain, it’s only while the kids sleep. This property, with its smells and colours and lushness, cocoons staff and...

Dear Boundless families: We had a pathetic excuse for a rain shower two nights ago, but other than that, it’s a kiln up here. There is no rain forecast for the foreseeable forever. Light the wrong match, and the forest will get nasty. So, your kids won’t be enjoying...

Dear Boundless Families:
Everyone arrived safely. Always a blessing when that happens.
This ridiculously fantastic weather is getting kind of eerie. I went to Toronto for two days, and when I returned this morning, everything that was once green has turned into...

Dear Boundless Families: On Friday, when the heat wave released its grip, and a cool Norwester blew relief into our deer-fly bitten bodies, I encountered the Goonies at their Lac Robinson campsite on the Dumoine River. They don’t really use the identity of Goonies any...
