Daytripping tried to send you exciting news about our metabolism booster course on Saturday mornings this Tuesday afternoon (November 2nd) by e-mail. Technology was not our friend this time and the content was missing from that e-mail.
On the bright side our regular newsletter will be going out on Thursday morning and what's better than two e-mails in a week? Keep checking your inboxes.
We're an outdoor recreation company located at Rockwood Park in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. We specialize in giving people the ability to enjoy all that the park has to offer, by providing equipment rental and guiding. In the summer months, we rent canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, mountain bikes and rock climbing gear. Once the snow falls, we supply snowshoes, cross-country skis and pond hockey equipment. And all year round we rent Nordic Walking poles, and GPS devices. Our headquarters is at the Lily Lake Pavilion, where we have a selection of equipment available for purchase as well. We provide guides and instructors for all of our activities to groups of all sizes. We also host activity day camps for children, birthday party events, school outings and corporate functions.
