Leave No Trace Camping

VWP is devoted to promoting ecological integrity; ensuring wilderness can be appreciated in its natural form for generations to come. We adhere to environmentally friendly practices for this very reason. In addition, there is no better way of educating youth in eco-practices than leading by example. We also instill the seven principles of Leave No Trace (www.leavenotrace.ca) in all our participants. The LNT principles were created to educate outdoor enthusiasts on reducing their environmental impact in the wilderness. They are:

1. Plan Ahead and Prepare
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
3. Dispose of Waste Properly
4. Leave What You Find
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts
6. Respect Wildlife (and Nature)
7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors
