We have some financing options available as well for all of our activities

Climbing

During the winter months join us for some indoor climbing at the Fire Escape on Talbot Avenue. It's a 45 foot wall with different routes to test your climbing skills, and practice up for our real challenges of outdoor ice and rock climbing! All of our leaders are certified to belay and we also offer belay certification training to the general public.

Hiking

Ever wanted to hike the Mantario trail? Ever heard of the Mantario trail? How about the Rockies!?! Stay posted for upcoming trips this year. Some possibilities are day hikes close to Winnipeg and some overnight trips in the Whiteshell. So toss those hair-dryers and pack some power bars - we're going trekking!

Canoeing

Manitoba is made for canoeing - beautiful lakes abound and the water is still and welcoming. There are tunnels to canoe through and fish to catch - it is one of the easiest and most rewarding outdoor activities.

Camping

Anytime we do an overnighter we'll be "roughing" it - carrying our own supplies, cooking our own food, setting up camp, building fires and sleeping under the stars - unless it rains!  You'll learn what's cool to bring and what's best left stuffed at the bottom of your locker.

Things to bring on a SWAT event:

Water

Weather appropriate clothes

Good shoes (so YOU don't get blisters!)
