With the guidance of these three outdoor education businesses, you can learn about outdoor safety, outdoor activities like stand up paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, camping, and even Métis culture.

49°N (La Broquerie)

With 49°N, you can experience the perfect mix and mingle of nature and Métis culture through unforgettable authentic experiences that weave together the discovery of the outdoors with Métis history and culture.

49°N offers various experiences and services, but the very core of their mission stays the same for each, to provide safe, educational, and spectacularly memorable experiences for all that showcases Métis culture and the wonders of nature, whether it’s in ‘dah bush, on ‘dah water or ‘troo ‘de plains.

Enjoy an authentic experience in a tipi where you can build a bow and arrow and a dream catcher with your very own hands. Lose yourself and list to interactive storytelling, and try your hand at open-fire Bannock cooking. During your interactive adventures, you will learn about the history of the Métis people, traditional practices, and who they are today.

You can explore Manitoba’s boreal forest by snowshoe during the winter months. During your expedition in a local forest, take a break from your busy life’s schedule and let yourself be immersed in stories and legends while cooking up some fire-baked bannock!

49°N also offers hunting and fishing guides, tipi rentals, paddling workshops, outdoor workshops like wilderness survival, preparing a hide, learning how to hunt, and much more.

Their on-the-water experience is still being developed but is sure to be another fantastic addition to their services!

Whether you’re going solo, bringing the family, or looking for team-building excursions, 49°N is one experience you don’t want to miss! After all, who said learning has to be boring?
