You will sleep comfortably in private or semi-private cozy eco-luxe cabins designed in harmony with the forest home, enjoy nourishing meals crafted with care from locally-sourced ingredients, and participate in specially curated experiences hosted by local guides, facilitators, and storytellers which make use of the lakeside studio and natural gathering spaces. Groups and individuals engage in a variety of experiences led by special guests, guided nature excursions (exploring by stand-up paddleboard, canoe, cross-country ski, snowshoe, bike, or hike); yoga classes, sound meditations, art, and more.
You might align with the pace of nature and rise with the sun to paddle a misty river in search of moose and other wildlife or unwind in the wood-fired sauna before jumping in the lake or rolling in the snow. At night, share stories and music in the warmth of a fire circle under a festival of stars. Guests leave the Edge feeling renewed and transformed, ready to live their extraordinary life.
Canvas cabins
Sleep in the fresh forest air and rise with the birds as the morning sun lights up your cabin naturally. These wood and canvas structures are clean, dry, and nestled on a hillside surrounded by the lush greenery of the forest at the edge of Algonquin Park. Ladybug Lounge, Loon Echo, and Lily’s Pad boast comfortable feather duvets and colorful linen sheets on bunk beds. The original honeymoon suite, Moonbeam, and its twin, Firefly, each feature a double bed and are ideal for one person.
Some call it glamping or glamorous camping. The best outhouse in Canada just steps away featuring a tiled floor and composting toilet. Flush toilets and showers are located in Points North, just a one-minute walk away. These seasonal unheated accommodations are available from May through September.

Programm
Just imagine being surrounded by nature on the edge of Algonquin Park, you will work together to reset the way you think about habits and how they affect your life. Through a combination of workshops, group activities, and one-on-one guidance, you will gain the tools needed to form healthy new habits that will stay with you long after the retreat has ended. The passionate team will guide you through the process of resetting your habits, from the basics of the habit loop to the development of strong daily routines.
With workshops inspired by experts such as B.J. Fogg, Charles Duhigg, James Clear, and Marie Kondo, you will be immersed in a program filled with practical ways to cultivate healthy habits and unlock personal growth opportunities. You will explore why you do, what you do, and how you can change your behavior, wellness routines, de-cluttering, digital wellness, and more. Northern Edge Algonquin invites you to unplug for four days as this off-grid workshop takes you away from day-to-day distractions so you can focus on yourself.
Come reset outdoors, in a supportive community at the remote retreat center. Whether your goals have to do with health and wellness, balance, career, or joy, this is your opportunity to dream big, create patterns, environments, and habits that will help you to achieve those dreams and be accountable to yourself. The goal is simple yet powerful - send you home feeling motivated and empowered with a fresh perspective on life - complete with your own toolkit full of daily practices at the ready.
By taking a moment to assess your emotional state and how it relates to current habits, you can start the process of breaking a habit or creating new ones. This will give you the opportunity to take steps towards building new routines that are in line with your core values and life goals as well. During this four-day, three-night habit workshop and wellness retreat, you will:
- Learn how to build simple habits to reach your personal goals including how to recognize and shift habits that are not serving you, create an environment that will support your goals, and deep-dive into how to make the habit cycle work for you
- Experience resiliency practices to help you anchor into the life you want to live through yoga and meditation, mindfulness, goal setting, and other diverse practices
- Enjoy nourishing meals designed to reset your food patterns, while engaging in a community discussion on nutrition and sharing supportive practices in mindful and intuitive eating
- Explore seasonal physical activities surrounded by nature such as hiking, cycling, and paddling and explore mobility at any age or level (in the winter, explore skiing, snowshoeing, or skating)
- Identify your core values and begin to create a plan to live by them
- Learn how you can shift your mindset by communicating with yourself through the positive, powerful use of affirmations
- Ask “what brings me joy?” to strengthen your intuition and become more confident in making decisions
- Dare to dream, engaging with gratitude and ceremony to release old patterns and step into what is next
- Create smart, actionable goals to begin the journey, and anchor yourself by committing to them

Algonquin Park
Algonquin Park is often referred to as the gem of the Ontario parks system. Ontario's oldest and largest provincial park, Algonquin is often thought of as a national park - perhaps owing to its original name - Algonquin National Park of Ontario (est. 1893). In survey after survey, Algonquin Park is continually listed second (behind only Banff National Park) as Canadians' most priceless national park. Each year, Algonquin Park hosts over 800,000 visitors. Most visitors stick to the Algonquin Parks Highway 60 corridor and check out the visitor center or hike a trail.
Guests at eco-lodges and resorts like Northern Edge Algonquin go off the beaten track and discover the magic of Algonquin on three of four-day all-inclusive guided explorer packages. Algonquin Park was originally only accessible by train from Toronto. Today, Algonquin Park is accessible by public transit with Ontario Northland, making this part of Algonquin Park (Access Point 1 - Kawawaymog Lake) accessible from downtown Toronto’s Bay Street station. Sadly, the Northlander train from Union Station is no longer in service, but their bus service still brings people to the park daily.
