The Camp Fortune Zipline: A Thrilling Adventure for Everyone

This past weekend, I took my friends to Camp Fortune to zipline. I’m happy to report, we’re still friends. Last year, I started a new tradition with my girlfriends: once a year, they all make the trek to my house in Ottawa. As the host, I have three goals. One, spoil them with good food …

White Water Rafting Adventure: A Thrilling Odyssey with Unstoppable Friends!

by Candace Sampson

If I was to describe my friend group to someone, I would say we’re the embodiment of ‘distance means so little when friendship means so much,’ sprinkled with a smattering of batshit crazy – but in the best imaginable way of course.
