This one-week camp session is a great introductory trip for campers looking to experience camping in Minnesota’s legendary Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness. The Boundary Waters is world-renowned for its natural beauty and endless exploration possibilities and is an ideal place to begin experiencing wilderness tripping and canoe camping.
Designed to introduce campers to the world of paddling a canoe and water navigation, campers will explore an average of 5-8 miles a day in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Campers learn how and what to pack, how to choose and set up camp, and cook delicious meals outdoors. No prior wilderness trip experience is required. What to expect on a canoe trip.
It’s easy to make new lifelong friends when you share a week in the wilderness. Many campers return for future trips with us!
