It looks like Christmas here in Northwestern Ontario. Our main office is in Kenora and us elves have been busy with decorating and keeping up with our downtown store and reservations. Ever wonder who answers the phone when you call to check availability, book a trip or answer any questions you might have?

Staff Christmas party

Lots of our summer staff from the Kenora and surrounding area enjoyed our bowling party-lots of food and laughs. This by far was one of our most fun Christmas events!! Here are a couple quick pictures! We had Chris, Amber, Jonny, Reagan, Shawn, Lisa, Mike, Jaylynn, Gene, Wanda, Junior, Gunner, Stan, Todd, Ben, Kerry and their plus ones/significant others.

Louis and Lizzie missed our Christmas party as they were trying to get here driving from Edmonton, Alberta but the snowstorms added another 5-6 hours on their trip. Louis has passed his commercial pilot written test, and he is working on completing flying hours before he can take his commercial pilot flight test. We hope the weather holds out for him in January!

Brrrrr

If this picture below could talk it would tell you it was frigid out! -30C which is about -22F which either way is cold! Jonny and Louis were headed up north to lay a track on the lakes before hauling firewood with sleighs as with all the snow we’ve had it has made slush on top of the lakes. The slush can really get people on snowmobiles stuck especially with sleighs that are heavy that can get bogged down. The sleigh can start digging into the slush and eventually the snowmobile can pull the sleigh although it can barely move and then becomes stuck in the slush (there is a lot of ice below it but the weight of the snow forms cracks and water comes up through the cracks in the ice creating slush).

If you don’t know what to get your fisherman for Christmas, call us and you can purchase a gift certificate that they can use on towards their fishing/hunting trip, souvenirs or more! Halley’s Camps gift certificates will be available only until Dec 23, 2025 at 3pm!

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Chris, Amber, Louis, Jonny, Reagan, Lisa and Shawn
