Post-Trip- Massasauga Provincial Park Wilderness Backcountry Canoeing/Camping Adventure 

Have you ever dreamed about paddling on a serene lake in the middle of the wilderness, surrounded only by forest, rock faces, and solitude from the hustle and bustle of life? Have you fantasized about challenging yourself to portage a canoe, cook a meal, light a campfire, and sleep in a tent after lying on a rock looking at the vast sky above you? How about seeing beavers, turtles, skinks, and chipmunks? Then dream no more!

Canada is famous for its wide-open spaces and natural surroundings. Join us on JOE's 2022 post-trip paddle to magnificent Massasauga Provincial Park! Backcountry canoe camping on stunning Spider Lake, with its beautiful bays and coves, twists, and turns. The Park is one of the Amazing Places in the UNESCO Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve.

Be sure to mark your calendar for the first week of September and join us for a wonderful time in Ontario

Mosaic Jewish Outdoor Clubs of America

What is Mosaic?

Mosaic Outdoor Clubs of America (MOCA) integrates Jewish values with an appreciation of the outdoors. It brings together members of the Jewish community to celebrate and explore the great outdoors in a social setting. This is achieved by: 1) Sponsoring activities on a national/international scale; and 2) Encouraging and facilitating the formation and continuation of local Mosaic clubs for the purpose of sponsoring local/regional activities.

Mosaic Outdoor Clubs of America is a volunteer-run organization that allows Jewish adults with a love of the outdoors to get back to nature and have some fun. With 12 clubs located throughout the United States, Canada and Israel, our international non-profit, volunteer-run organization promotes appreciation of the outdoors, nature, outdoor skills and conservation, while building Jewish community and continuity.
