Register & Sign Up for a Task Group at Boreal
Task group sign-ups will open once we announce the Boreal Canoe Trip.
These groups help the trip run smoothly and offer a great way to connect with others. To join the trip, everyone must register and sign up for a task group using their Boreal ticket code. We’ll follow up with details about the trip and your role before departure.
Thanks for making Boreal part of your summer!
