Adventure Awaits! Live. Love. Play. LOCAL!
Welcome to Episode 2 of our Adventures in BruceGreySimcoe series - CAPE CROKER PARK, NEYAASHIINIGMIING!
What a gem! Welcome to Cape Croker Park, featuring their Ziibaakdakaan Maple Syrup and Anishinaabe Cultural Programs. Located in Neyaashiinigmiing and nestled among the rising bluffs of the Niagara Escarpment on the eastern shores of the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula, Cape Croker Park offers a peaceful and serene setting for camping, hiking, and paddling adventures. Through their guided programs, you can learn about the history and culture of the Anishinaabek people, wilderness skills, plants used for food and medicine, traditional stories and more. Fun for explorers - and the entire family too!
Did You Know: When you enter the lands of Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation, you are stepping outside of Canada! The Park is proudly owned and operated by the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation, offering employment for the community and its members.

About Us… Marissa Dolotallas & Chris Scerri
After owning an outdoor store in the city and leaving it all behind in pursuit of… well, the outdoors - we landed in Meaford on beautiful South Georgian Bay. Since then, we’ve each carved our own paths - but we’ve always found a way to work together - like this project: Adventures in BruceGreySimcoe - where we can combine both our passions: Adventures + Music, i.e. Rise and Shine Adventures meets Chris Scerri Presents! Last but never least… our favourite furry friend… Sawyer! He loves the outdoors just as much as we do - and even has his own store… See Sawyer Run!
