Dear Boundless Families: Defining moments of a group can never be scripted. The English class had one 3 days ago at Blueberry campsite on the Madawaska. The plan was to tent a couple of nights alongside gentle rapids, summoning the Henry David Thoreau inside each one...

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: The poets Woodsworth and Emmerson couldn’t begin to describe how gorgeous it is up here, this Thursday morning. Like your teenagers, the Canadian Shield and the Boreal Forest are in their splendour and oozing with potency. The combined...

Dear Boundless Families: All 61 kids are in varying states of frolic and exhaustion. Some are contemplative. A bunch are huddled together, amazingly calm as they try to complete their written assignments on time. But everyone is home. A relief to this old man. Both...

Happy Saturday Afternoon: I am a little lazy today – perhaps the privilege of having both outdoor cohorts deep in the Quebec wilderness helps. Those lovely mugs of yours are long gone, and the Satellite phone hasn’t rung. The English crews are on...

Dear Boundless Families: So much is happening so I’ll get right to it. I can happily confirm your kids have retained their eyesight. The whole eclipse, we strategized, should be rather understated. The outdoor cohorts would be on the river and the english...
