Northern Lights

Northern Lights & Wildlife of Manitoba | September 9 - 14, 2023

Take an adventure into the vast Canadian North with alumni and friends from September 9 to 14. Experience a remote tundra teeming with glacial landforms, boreal forest, and beautiful wilderness. Accessible only by plane or boat, a supremely outfitted lodge will be home base amidst days filled with wildlife spotting and outdoor adventures, and evenings featuring delicious dinners followed by opportunities to watch for the Aurora borealis. Northern Manitoba is considered to be one of the best places in the world to view this phenomenon, and fall is considered the best time to comfortably view the Northern Lights and to explore the other wonders of this extraordinary region.

Discover the uniqueness of the area during guided interpretive tours focusing on wildlife, botany, and geography, and learn about local plant life the First Nations Peoples used for food sources and medicines. At the lodge, take advantage of leisure activities like hiking, fishing, and kayaking or canoeing, or join optional excursions to further explore the area.

Space is limited, and will be shared with participants from cosponsoring alumni associations. Please contact the CAA Travel Study Program office at (866) 325-8664, or at [email protected] for more details and to reserve your place today.
