An Unforgettable Adventure: Backpacking Camp at Isle Royale National Park

Kick off your young adventurer’s summer with an exciting two-day experience at Wolf Ridge, where they will prepare for an epic backpacking adventure! After building essential skills and team spirit, campers will embark on a seven-day journey to Isle Royale National Park, hiking 5-8 miles daily through its stunning and untamed landscape. On the island, your teen will explore ancient old-growth forests, soak in breathtaking views of Lake Superior, and share captivating stories around the campfire. They might even catch a glimpse of moose in their natural habitat! This immersive experience is designed to cultivate independence, resilience, and a deep appreciation for nature. Upon returning, campers will enjoy a few more days at Wolf Ridge, filled with thrilling activities such as rock climbing, survival skills training, and navigating the adventure ropes course. Each evening, they will gather to reflect on their experiences and forge lasting friendships. This camp perfectly blends the vibrant energy of Wolf Ridge summer camp with the unique adventure of backpacking across Isle Royale National Park—an experience unlike any other that your teenager will treasure for a lifetime.
