Join Wolf Ridge for a backpacking trip to Isle Royale National Park! Combining time on the Wolf Ridge campus with an extended wilderness experience, this camp offers teens the chance to explore one of Lake Superior’s most remote and beautiful places.
Campers will begin at Wolf Ridge, preparing for their trip and practicing essential backcountry skills before heading to the island. There, they’ll spend seven days backpacking, hiking 5–8 miles each day through rugged terrain, forested trails, and scenic landscapes overlooking Lake Superior.
Along the way, campers will discover the island’s unique ecosystems, look for wildlife such as moose, and experience the challenges and rewards of backcountry travel. Hiking and camping together encourage teamwork, independence, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
After returning to Wolf Ridge, campers will enjoy activities such as rock climbing, survival skills, and the adventure ropes course, rounding out a memorable summer of wilderness exploration and outdoor learning.
