The 1st Annual Ontario Winter Camping Symposium - Brought to You By Snowtrekker Tents - is coming to the University of Waterloo Theatre of the Arts on Saturday November 25th 2017! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to enjoy Ontario's wilderness in the winter months? Want to learn more? Or are you an experienced winter camper who wants to try something new...hot tenting, cold tenting, snow shelter or crown land camping? Then the Ontario Winter Camping Symposium is for you! Visit us at: www.ontariowintercamping.ca

Speakers include:

Jim Baird - Winner of the History Channel's "Alone" challenge, Jim will be discussing his solo winter crossing of the Ungava Penninsula in Northern Quebec.

Kevin Callan - The Happy Camper himself will discuss his winter travels, and preview his upcoming winter camping book!

David Lee - The Passionate Paddler will share his other passion....cold tenting in Killarney PP, including an ascent of Silver Peak in winter!

Martin Pine - Martin is an experienced winter shelter builder and crown land camper. Want to escape the provincial parks? Martin is your guy!

Duane and Marion Sonntag - The Camping Family will discuss the enthusiastic group of winter campers that invades Algonquin Parks Mew Lake Campground for New Years and the Family Day Weekend each year for "Winter in the Wilderness". New to winter camping? This may be the place to start!

Tierney Angus - Tierney is a journalism student, canoeing enthusiast, all-season backcountry camper and Friends of Temagami board member. Tierney will be sharing how she set out to learn how to live as comfortably as possible in the hard water season by making her own equipment with a whole lot of research and a very small budget.
