Season 1

CG Kids adventurers Jennifer and Jamie head to Grand Manan Island, where local teen Jesse Lloyd teaches them how to "dulse" by harvesting edible seaweed from the island's rocks. They meet their new travelling buddy Eldon, who is an odd Canadian expert on, well, everything! Then it's all aboard with some lucky kids on the floatable Whale Camp, to explore the Bay of Fundy and search for the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. The world's highest tides, saltiest seaweed, and largest mammals, all in this episode of CG Kids!

Jennifer and Jamie head upstream via canoe to explore the mysterious Miramichi River system of New Brunswick! Their paddling skills are amateur-ish, to say the least, but luckily they meet up with 11-year-old Terri McAlister, an active canoeist and explorer of the Miramichi community!

After taking a few paddling tips from Terri, and admiring her canoe tricks, Jamie and Jennifer float downstream into Red Bank, New Brunswick's oldest community. They learn all about the rich traditions of the Mi' kmaq First Nations people, who have benefited from the region' s bounty of natural resources for around 3,000 years—and even get to go on a bit of an archaeological dig!

Later, Wilfred, a Mi' kmaq elder, lets Jamie and Jennifer try their hand at fly-fishing! This is one of North America's most abundant salmon fishing grounds, but Jennifer' s biggest catch turns out to be our camera operator! Boat tricks, an archaeological mix and slick fish — discover it all in this episode of CG Kids!

In this episode of CG Kids, Jennifer and Jamie waltz their way over the water to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia! Our CG-ers meet up with 11-year-old Kelsey McNeil in the town of North Sydney. Kelsey is a stepdancer extraordinaire, and takes the time to teach Jen and Jamie a few of her Gaelic moves. Next, our frisky-footed new friend takes us on a kayaking tour along the shores of Bras d'Or Lake, a curious combination of both ocean and fresh water. Later, our CG adventurers hike over to the First Nations Eskasoni area of this inland sea. Here they meet up with conservation expert Eugene Eagle Deny to learn all about the magnificent, and endangered, bald eagles that nest in the area. Then it's over to the Cape Breton Miner's Museum to learn about the treacherous and incredible lives and work of the Sydney coal miners.

CG Kids adventurers Jennifer and Jamie head to Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island, to explore it's rich red land, white sandy beaches and green potato fields — all of which are true P.E.I. colours. First they meet young dairy farmer Kyle Jewel at the Rural Youth Fair. Then it's off to his farm, where Jennifer drives a tractor and Eldon tries to milk a prize-winning cow! Later they float away on Ronnie Caissie's boat for some Atlantic Ocean lobster fishing, followed by some amazing beach exploration, where they look for seaside critters in their natural habitat in P.E.I. National Park. Potato peelings, moo-ving milkings, and lobster-freeing — all in a day's adventure on CG Kids!

Jennifer and Jamie ferry over to the stunning Îles de la Madeleine, a beautiful group of about 12 Quebec-owned islands that's actually closer to the Maritimes! They meet up with 15-year-old Terry LaPierre for some surfing and nets — and find themselves CAVE surfing, much to Jennifer's initial terror! Terry also shows them how to use a net, as well as fishing lines, giant hooks, and one seaworthy fishing boat, to catch some Madeleine mackerel, island-style! Later they meet up with biologist Catherine Giroul at the Seal Interpretive Centre. She takes them out in the Centre's boat to witness first-hand the playful nature of the many seals that live in the warm Gulf waters that surround the islands. Finally, our adventurers explore a salt marsh and discover the unusual features of one of the most important ecosystems along a coastline. Sunny surfing, fish finding, and marsh marching — all on this episode of CG Kids!

Jennifer and Jamie take a scramble through the foothills of southern Alberta, where they jump aboard a school bus and join twelve-year-old Riley Cann and his class on a very "grizzly" trip to an apple orchard. They travel through Crowsnest Pass, learning about some of the conservation efforts made by the Wind River Bear Institute to protect Grizzly bears. Then they get to meet the first Karelian Bear Dogs in Canada specially trained to help "herd" Grizzlies away from town! Our explorers later head to Fort MacLeod to learn about the importance of the buffalo to the lives of the early plains First Nations people at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Finally they get recruited into the North-West Mounted Police and learn how to dress, bunk, and take care of a horse just like it was done in the 1800s! All in all, it's a Bears, Buffalo and Barrack-livin' filled CG Kids adventure!

Jennifer and Jamie go tromping through the Badlands of Alberta, on a quest for fossils and cowboys! They meet up with 11-year-old CJ Dupasquier in the town of Drumheller for a tour of the world-famous Royal Tyrrell Museum, and some incredible dinosaur skeletons — not to mention the chance to uncover prehistoric bones with a palaeontologist on a genuine dinosaur dig! Our adventurers then hop on horseback to explore the ranchland home of Colton Jackson, a 13-year-old rodeo champion! Colton helps Jennifer and Jamie learn the ropes of being a cowboy, from using a lasso to riding a bucking steer. He then invites them to watch him compete in the Lacombe Annual Rodeo! Digging for dinos, riding the range, and hoofing it on horseback, all on this episode of CG Kids! Giddy-up!

Jennifer and Jamie journey to Alberta to conquer their fear of heights and explore the magnificent Rocky Mountains! What could compare to the stunning helicopter ride Jamie and Jennifer take over Banff National Park? How about some genuine rock climbing in Grassi Lakes canyon, near the town of Canmore, Alberta! Thirteen-year-old outdoor enthusiast Kenna Meilicke not only teaches our adventurers how to scale mountains, she also takes them on a high-altitude camping adventure, complete with a visit from bear-loving Eldon! Then Jamie and Jennifer are off to the Cave and Basin Hot Springs, for a mineral-rich, if sulphur-stinky, hot water soak! Later, Jamie and Jennifer experience first-hand the Central Rockies' Wolf Project co-ordinator Carolyn Callaghan's dedication to the plight of these largely misunderstood animals. Jamie even gets a glimpse of a wolf through his infrared geocam! And what trip to Banff would be complete without a visit to the Banff Springs Hotel, one of the most stunning resorts in all of Canada. Clip on, and hang on tight, for a special episode of cool climbing, stinky swims, and wolf watching, all happening this week on CG Kids!

Jennifer and Jamie have a heck of a time figuring out how to get onto Manitoulin Island, Ontario, the largest freshwater island in the world! After discovering that the ferry has stopped running for the winter, our adventurers eventually make it over via the swing bridge to Little Current! Here they meet 15-year-old First Nations dancer Elizabeth Trudeau, a member of the Wikwemikong reserve, the only unceded reserve in all of Canada.

Of course, Eldon just stomps the grapes into juice the old-fashioned way — with his feet! Next, Jennifer and Jamie cower under the thunder of Horseshoe Falls, one of the Seven Wonders of the World! Then it's off to meet geologist Keith Tinkler, who teaches our adventurers how potholes are made, and that the waterfalls of Niagara actually move about one metre each year! Later, our CG-ers flutter over to the Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory.

Then it's time for a little snowmobiling trip to check out the largest wooden gold dredge in Canada! Later, Jennifer and Jamie get playful with some puppies in Dogtown, a Dawson pit stop on the world-famous dog-sledding race known as the Yukon Quest. No time for sledding, though!

Our CG-ers then hook up with another 12-year-old Whitehorse-ee, Jenni Matchett, for some totally awesome snowboarding at Mount Sima! At least, it would be awesome if these "experts" could make it off the bunny hill!

Master carver Charlie August teaches Jamie and Jennifer the significance of various animal carvings on totems, and the different types of totems. He even lets Jen try her hand of carving. Of course, her technique has nothing on Eldon's, who prefers to use his teeth to work the wood! Next, Jamie and Jennifer get suited up for their spelunking trip through some limestone caves thought to be over 120,000 years old! Our CG-ers don't run into any bats, but they do encounter some "soda straws", "wolf howls", and an ice cream waterfall!

Here, Jamie and Jennifer meet up with 14-year-old and 12-year-old Kim and Eryn Krieger, on the grass-covered roof of their house no less, before checking out the llamas that live on their sprawling farm!

Then it's time for a real wooden boat trip on Bob and Alice Wyche's 32-foot-long sailboat, which means Jamie and Jennifer get to check out the petroglyphs and dramatic scenery of the area. Just when they're settling in, our CG-ers hop onto yet ANOTHER boat, this one of the motorized variety, to explore some of the Strait of Georgia's rich marine life with marine biologist Brian Nichols.

On this week's episode of CG Kids, Jennifer and Jamie take a mountain of a journey through British Columbia's snowy Rogers Pass! First they meet up with 17-year-old Jeremy, a keen backcountry skier, who shows them some of his avalanche safety equipment. They also get to meet two key members of the Mobile Avalanche Control Program: Big Eddie the dog and his trainer, Bob. Jeremy and our adventurers run a few tests to see just how good this pup is at finding avalanche victims in the snow! Then it's off to the Avalanche Training Centre, via skiing behind a Snow Cat, where they examine a recent snowfall for potentially weak layers that could lead to an avalanche.
