Voyageur: Two Trip Options
This 3-week canoeing trip will take you through the beautiful Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota. You'll unplug from technology, spend time with friends in God's gorgeous creation, and make unforgettable memories. You'll venture deep into the most beautiful areas of canoe country! This is our most immersive trip of the summer, with many amazing sights to be seen and deep relationships to be formed.
The deadline* to register for the Isle Royale Backpacking trip is March 1.
Take the ferry to the largest Island on Lake Superior, with its beautiful ridge trails, inland lakes, and large moose population! It's one of the best odds to see a moose in the lower 48 states and a rare opportunity to explore one of the most unique National Parks in our country.
This will be an incredible 2-week backpacking trip for a crew of high schoolers and is expected to fill quickly.
Deadline to Register: Unique to this trip only, all Isle Royale campers must be registered by March 1 to secure their spot. This is because we must make reservations with the Isle Royale Ferry service - seats go quickly!

Our goal is to provide single-gender wilderness trips. If there are not enough campers registered to run a single-gender trip, we will merge cabins and send out one trip. In this event, all trips will have both a male and female counselor, there will be no mixed-gender tents, and genders will have opportunities for single-gender discussion and activity times.
