About Knapsack
Knapsack is the City of Kawartha Lakes’ experiential tourism training and recognition program. It helps tourism businesses create and share unforgettable moments by leveraging what makes them—and the region—unique.

The program supports the development of new experiences, recognizes excellence, and promotes standout offerings. Graduates gain regional, provincial, and national attention for delivering transformative experiences while sharing recognition with peers committed to best-in-class tourism.

What is a Signature Experience?
A signature experience is highly anticipated, memorable, and delivered by a skilled, knowledgeable host with a strong connection to the local community. Being “signature” means it is among the best offerings and part of a curated collection of exceptional experiences.
