Earlier this month we had the wonderful pleasure of meeting and connecting with Sue Kochan, founder and guide of Step It Up Adventures, located in Collingwood, Ontario.


In support of our mission, Sue has been helping to spread the word about Headwaters, including with a blog post on her website and a fun promotional video she made (see below)!


We are always grateful for new friends, and for the tight-knit community of individuals and organizations working to share a wilderness ethic with as many people as possible.


For those interested in expertly-led, family-friendly day trips in the Collingwood are, consider checking out our amazing friends at Step It Up Adventures, and be sure to tell them that Headwaters says hello!




Here's a little bit more about Step It Up Adventures, in Sue's own words:


Step It Up Adventures
Step It Up Adventures


Step it Up Adventures is a trusted hiking, snowshoeing, paddling and backcountry adventure company that competently and patiently elevates our guests to new heights in their outdoor experiences. Our tours are private, and we take great pride in providing each guest with a unique and unforgettable experience.


During our hiking/caving tours in the Collingwood area you will be treated to spectacular caves and epic lookouts. For a complete outdoor adventure day or weekend you can pair your hike/caving tour with a paddling tour (canoe, kayak, or SUP) down the Nottawasaga or Beaver Rivers.


If you’re ready to step away from screens and into the wild, visit us at www.stepitupadventures.ca to find your next adventure. It’s time to Step it Up and rediscover what it means to move, breathe, and feel alive in nature.
