In 1994, two yellow school buses arrived at Muskoka Woods from Windsor Ontario, bringing with them young leaders from the Windsor Essex Catholic District School board. Seventeen years and almost 30,000 students later, the Muskoka Experience continues to grow and be a life changing experience for grade 8 students and grade 11 and 12 Leadership students. Muskoka Woods is proud to partner with the Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board to provide a program where creativity reigns, friendships flourish and confidence grows. The Muskoka Experience emphasizes that you don't have to BE the best, you just have to do YOUR best!
This past October saw almost 1000 young people trying out the zip-line, hitting the trails on mountain bikes, learning to trust each other at low ropes, playing crazy chicken games, performing amazing dances, hearing from guest speakers and most of all challenging each other to do their best.
At Muskoka Woods, we seek to Inspire youth to shape their world. We had the amazing privilege of helping a 14 year old who was confined to a wheelchair go all the way down the zip-line with his father. It was truly a life changing and inspiring experience for the young man, his family, the staff involved and his classmates who were cheering him on.
We can't wait to see the next Windsor Group arrive at Muskoka Woods in May 2012!
