Guided SUP from Outlook to Camp Wolf Willow
Drift with a guided stand‑up paddleboarding tour along the scenic South Saskatchewan River from Outlook back to Camp Wolf Willow. The guided experience includes instruction, gear, a Brunch Box from The Prairie Grazer and a breathwork meditation practice on the water.
Dinner and Local Wine at Wolf Willow Winery
After the paddle you’ll return to Camp Wolf Willow for check‑in and a relaxed dinner paired with locally crafted wine at Wolf Willow Winery, set on the riverbank to catch the valley sunset.
Private Sauna Sessions and A‑Frame Cabin Night
Unwind in a 90‑minute, wood‑fired private sauna with rain‑water cool‑offs between sessions, then sleep riverside in a rustic A‑frame cabin—an evening designed for muscle recovery, circulation benefits and restful sleep.

The day moves from gentle motion to deliberate stillness: an early meet at Camp Wolf Willow, a shuttle to Outlook and a guided SUP float downstream where guides provide instruction, brunch and breathwork; an afternoon return for check‑in and a riverside dinner; then staggered private sauna sessions before a quiet night in an A‑frame cabin beside the river.
