FEES FOR 2008
Wilderness Wind's desire is to make wilderness travel available to everyone. Fees are set to cover a percentage of program expenses. All staff time is donated on a voluntary service basis. Work for Wilderness Wind is done out of a love for the outdoors and a belief in service. Another way of keeping our fees low is that we ask each group to help clean their gear at the end of their trip.
* Each trip starts with a day of orientation prior to the canoe trip. Orientation is usually a full day that includes worship, canoeing instruction, reading map and compass, food packing, route planning, packing, wilderness ethics and wilderness experiences. The fees below are listed according to the number of days of the actual canoe trip. Orientation is included in these fees.
