Canadian Caravan Workshop with Rick Sammon

Ontario offers a wide variety of rich experiences perfect for both professional and aspiring artists. Come with us and explore Ontario's natural wonders under the guidance of renowned photographer, Rick Sammon. Together we will visit landscapes brought to life by the renowned Group of Seven and other Canadian artists. It is here where you will create your very own masterpiece. Ontario will both inspire and delight you!
Our destination is just over two hours north of Toronto, amid Canadian Shield cliffs, sparkling freshwater lakes and majestic forests. Our destination offers you not only the world’s best photography opportunities, but also world-class accommodation, shopping, dining, golf, entertainment, and outdoor adventure.

This is where you'll find some of Canada's most beautiful lakes, including the “big three” lakes; Muskoka, Rosseau and Joseph, as well as little known gems where we will be based out of, Salerno Lake. And where there's water, there are boats. New boats, old boats, fast boats, slow boats - there is much to see and do here in the classic boat capital of Canada.
Did you know Santa spends his summers in Bracebridge? Thrill the kids and grand kids and stop by Santa's Village and Sportsland, and treat yourself to meeting the fat man himself. Pick up something for the kids and get your request in for the next super telephoto or full frame camera.

Smaller communities afford plenty of charm, eclectic shops, dining, and local arts and crafts. Stop in, fuel up, indulge in an ice cream, check out the shops. You never know who you'll bump into. As a cottage destination, this area has long been a draw for celebrities and the well-to-do.
Further north we will find ourselves amidst Algonquin Park. Rocky ridges, pine-clad shores and miles of lakes and rivers dotted with campsites, lodges and resorts provide the backdrop for memorable experiences in Ontario’s best-known outdoor vacation destinations, the “cottage country” areas of Muskoka, Haliburton and Bancroft.
The essence of our destination is the vast interior of maple and pine-clad hills, rocky ridges and thousands of interconnected lakes, rivers and streams, typical of the Great Lakes forest region. Numerous access points to waterways, allowing for a variety of experiences and sights.
This landscape is “Shield Country”, formed 2.5 billion years ago, it is the world’s oldest exposed bedrock. Through the millennia, “land building” activity has left large and irregular lakes with rocky cliffs, pocket beaches and deep waters; with moraines, eskers, inland dunes and kames. Having created thousands of kilometres of rivers over time, the Canadian Shield covers almost one-third of the country and is a dominant segment of Canada’s ecological identity.
The weather in August will see average day time highs in the high 70’s with some humidity. At night the temperature drops to a comfortable 60 to 65 degrees. You can expect a minimum of eight hours of sunshine per day and some morning fog coming off the water in the golden hour.
