Torngats 2015 - Where Nature and Culture Connect 21

A Reminder to Take the Time to Relax

In the Design Shelter Tents...  

... there is even a place to sit and think.   

Overall, the accommodations at the Torngat Mountains Base Camp are very comfortable. In the largest of the tents, the Design Shelters, table and chairs give space for writing, working or just sitting by the window and thinking.

Downtown

The Base Camp's Tent Area...  

...is nicknamed "Downtown."   

This is the 10th anniversary of the Torngat Mountains National Park, and the Base Camp has grown along the Park. The original tent area, placed close to the dock, the bunkhouse and other facilities, is now nicknamed "Downtown" and the expanded accommodations area is called "New Town." The tent ground sports a mixture of backpacker styles and traditional canvas prospector tents.  The colourful tents are the first thing a visitor sees of the Base Camp from the air or water.

        

Torngats 24 - The Tent Grounds at Torngat Base Camp

A Colourful Community of Tents 

Many visitors and staff stay in tents...  

... at the Torngat Base Camp.   

The bright colours of the nylon and canvas tents pitched close to the beach are among the first thing visitors to the Torngat Base Camp see when they arrive by boat or by helicopter. It's a colourful welcome.

Everything Looks Different at Night - Day 22

Labrador Tent     

Setting Up a Labrador Tent   

- with a carpet of fir boughs inside.    

If you are setting up a tent, you should get it done before dark so you can see how to weave the evergreen boughs together to make a warm and comfortable flooring. This tent is almost ready, although the tent stove is not yet in place, as night sets in.
