 Visit Lunatic Adventures IncLunatic Adventures Inc is a wilderness guiding company committed to developing environmental awareness through the provision of safe, informative, and enjoyable wilderness experiences. From canoeing to snowshoeing, our guides will provide you with the skills, knowledge & confidence needed to make the most out of your next wilderness adventure.
 HistoryIn 2002 David Masters, driven by his passion for the outdoors, started Lunatic Adventures Inc., a wilderness guiding company. Three years later, in an effort to live a more environmentally aware lifestyle, David moved his home and office from the busy city of Toronto to the quiet countryside of St. George. David built a Yurt, installed solar panels, a wind turbine, a composting toilet, and opened up his home as a model in sustainable living; thus evolved The LUNA Project. The interest generated by David's alternative lifestyle soon lead to the construction of a multi-use classroom Yurt and the creation of an alternative learning center. Protecting Our LegacyWe strive to make every experience with nature a positive one. Creating our own environmental policy is one way that we are able to protect our environment so that we may enjoy every experience equally for years to come. Limiting group sizes is one way that we are able to offer a smaller "footprint" on the environment, while maintaining an intimate experience giving you the chance to explore at your own pace. Our guides and educators are trained in many facets of wilderness education, giving each trip its own unique classroom. Passing on our knowledge is one of the best ways we are able to help protect our legacy for generations to come. LocationSituated in the rolling agricultural landscape of southern Ontario, The LUNA Project is part of the rural community of St. George, and is close to the major city centers of Brantford, Cambridge, and Hamilton.  FacilitiesThere are currently two Yurts (traditional Mongolian tents, framed with timber, draped with canvas, and circular in form) on site. The first Yurt is set up as an office, as well as a model in sustainable living. The second, larger, Yurt is our inspirational, multi-use classroom. All of the facilities on site were built working within the confines of nature. The Yurts, portable in their design, were built entirely by hand and may be easily relocated, leaving behind little evidence of their existence. Both of the Yurts are powered by alternative energy sources, mainly solar and wind, and composting toilets have been installed in order to accept responsibility for our waste and to minimize our water consumption.  ZoningThe property itself can easily be divided into four distinct natural regeneration zones. The first zone is a one year-old reclaimed corn field, now occupied by wild perennial and annual grasses, and host to a wide variety of meadow inhabitants. The second zone is a twenty year-old meadow that slopes downwards towards Beaver Creek and borders the third zone, a forty year-old reclaimed cattle pasture, which is now full of naturally seeded white pine, ash, elm, maple and Scotts pine. The fourth zone is an eighty year-old mixed Carolinian forest which includes species of Beech, Maple, Cherry, White Pine, and Hickory. TrailsThe entire property is easily accessible via a series of trails that highlight all four of the natural regeneration zones on site. Easily navigated, the trails are laid out in a series of loops, all of which lead you back to the large council fire circle. All of the trails are multi-use, suitable for hiking, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing, and are maintained periodically by volunteers. If you would like to book a personal tour, or learn a little more about the programs offered, please contact us for full information, or check back frequently to see what has been posted Gear RoomSafety, comfort, and group health are only a few of the factors into deciding what gear to use on our trips. It is our responsibility to ensure that you are in safe hands. This is why each and every trip is outfitted with the most up to date safety and rescue equipment available. Our guides are also trained and certified with proper use and repair of all gear.

Bill Masters Both Bill and Jan Masters have generously given their support, understanding, and guidance to help with this project. Bill had been fighting both Cancer and Parkinson's diseases for the past 5 years. Surrounded by family at home, Bill peacefully lost his long battle this past December 30, 2006. His support, love and guidance as a father will be greatly missed but always remembered. "Thanks for the Memories"
With Olavs help, we were able to build this first yurt. Olavs loved the idea of the project, and enjoyed his time spent on the deck relaxing listening to the sounds of nature. Olavs lost his long battle with Cancer on June 14th 2006. He will be greatly missed, and always remembered. |
