Cross Canada Trip June – July 2026.
Overview
For 2026 my Aikido Summer camp was in Toronto. So Lee and I thought it would be a good opportunity to drive across the country! Lee then dropped me off and drove back.
Since we’ve already seen alot of BC we booked it to just past Golden for our first camp. We did buy fruit near Sicamous and stopped at Loop Brook. The rest of the trip we stopped at the sights we’ve wanted to see and to camp.
