You may have had a family tent that took two hours to set up and seemed to leak every time there was a summer shower. Maybe your family was one of the lucky ones to own a “state-of-the-art” 16-foot trailer. Camping trips always produced great adventures and wonderful family memories. Campers felt they were lucky to camp in campgrounds that boasted an “outside biffy” and water taps only minutes from the campsite. Many a flashlight was lost down the “biffy” during those nighttime bathroom runs. Most cooking was done over an open fire or on a reliable Coleman stove, which made even the simplest food taste fabulous. Times may have changed, but camping in one of Manitoba’s great campgrounds is still an adventure, with great memories of and offer a variety of amenities, from non-serviced sites to 50-amp electrical full-serviced sites.

The bears tip the scale at over 1,300 pounds, stand 10 feet tall and can move with surprising speed and agility. Best viewing time is October to early November. Churchill is also famous with birders - some 250 species of birds including the rare Ross Gull, nest or pass through on their yearly migrations. In summer, white beluga whales surface and plunge in the blue-green waters of the Churchill River. You’ll be talking distance of the most vocal whales in the world. More than 3,000 beluga whales come in early July to feed and calve. Seals can also be seen in the harbour and caribou are frequently sighted along the coast. Churchill, population 1,000, is accessible by air or the Hudson Bay Railway line, which was built over permafrost and muskeg in 1929 and required a crew of 3,000 to complete.

Calm Air, Kivalliq Air run regular scheduled air service from Winnipeg, Thompson and Gillam year-round. On the tundra, lichens and miniature shrubs and flowers bloom each spring and fall. A short distance inland are patches of taiga (sub-arctic) forest, with black spruce, scattered white spruce and a thick mat of lichens.

This impressive park represents the features of the Hudson-James Lowlands Natural Region in Canada's system of national parks. Wapusk, the Cree word for white bear, is home to one of the world's largest known polar bear maternity denning sites. As well as protecting vital habitat for polar bears, Wapusk National Park provides critical habitat for hundreds of thousands of waterfowl and shorebirds that nest along the Hudson Bay coast in summer and gather to feed during spring and fall migrations. As Wapusk National Park of Canada is located in a remote region, access to the park is limited. Visitors can enter the park through the services of tour operators.
