Hello.

A couple that often joins us in our Quetico trips brought their daughter for a 4 day base camp at 4 months of age. It was a pretty easy time. For paddling, the father had his daughter in a basket by his feet. If she began to cry or became irritated, he would take a break and console the child for a bit. A few times this meant passing the baby up to the mother for feeding while he continued paddling by himself. Last year we took a 1 yr. old into Rawn for a 5 day base camp. Those that wanted day trips could go on to Buckingham or into Bisk, Beg, etc. It worked for those in the party that had kids and wanted to base camp and those that wanted to see more country and fish. If everybody is willing to compromise a littel, a solution for everybody, including the ankle biters can be achieved.
