Our Story

Roots was founded by Michael Budman and Don Green, two city kids who met at summer camp in Algonquin Park, where they first fell in love with the ideals and beauty of Canada. Starting from a little cabin, they created Roots, inspired by the experience of travelling from their city homes into the heart of Canada's wilderness. Since our founding, we have united the best of cabin and city through unmistakable style, built with uncompromising comfort. “It was a twelve-hour trip by train, bus and boat to Camp Tamakwa in the heart of Canada’s wilderness that would change everything.” FOUNDERS, BUDMAN & GREEN
