Custom Guided Wilderness Canoe Expeditions
Your Dates. Your Pace. Your People.
Custom Wilderness Canoe Expeditions — Designed Just for You
At Churchill River Canoe Outfitters, we’ve spent over 60 years guiding guests into the wild beauty of Northern Saskatchewan and some of the most memorable journeys we’ve ever created began as customer ideas.
Whether you’re planning a milestone trip with family, gathering friends for a shared adventure, or creating a private retreat built around connection and ease, our team will design a fully customized expedition shaped around your dates, skills, interests, and comfort level.
How Custom Trips Work
1
You reach out with your dates, group size, and general vision — even if it’s only half-formed.
2
We shape a route that aligns with your experience level, goals, and timeframe.
3
We refine the details — pace, accommodations, meals, special requests.
4
You pack your bag, arrive, and we take it from there.
Why Choose a Custom Expedition
You tell us when you want to travel, how long you want to be out, and the type of experience you’re dreaming of. We’ll shape the route, logistics, meals, and daily rhythm to match your group, whether that’s relaxed, exploratory, or full of discovery.
A Wilderness Experience That Fits You Perfectly
Custom trips work for:
-
Families wanting time together, unplugged and grounded
-
Groups of friends looking for a meaningful shared adventure
-
Celebrations — anniversaries, retirements, milestones
-
Experienced paddlers seeking a specific route or challenge
-
Beginners who want a supported, comfortable introduction to wilderness travel
Your Choice of Destination
You can choose from any of our signature CRCO routes — or we can design something entirely unique. Options include:
-
Historic fur-trade waterways
-
Warm, island-studded northern lakes

Quiet, remote landscapes where it’s just you, your group, and the land
If you have a dream route in mind, we’ll help make it happen.

They handle:
-
Navigation and safety

Storytelling and cultural interpretation
Chef-Inspired Meals in the Middle of Nowhere
Expect meals prepared with care, creativity, and locally inspired ingredients.
Past guests often say they eat better on trip than at home — and custom groups can choose dietary preferences, favourite ingredients, or special celebratory touches.
We Want To Hear Your Ideas
What a Custom Expedition Feels Like
Imagine waking up on your own schedule. Coffee brewing beside a quiet northern lake. Your group laughing around the breakfast table, planning the day’s small adventures. No rush, no pressure , just time together in a place that feels untouched and impossibly beautiful.
It’s wilderness travel without the stress, just connection, discovery, and the comfort of being fully taken care of.
