Trek & Travel: BWCA, July 6-18

Soak up the refreshing mist by the lake as you wake up in a tent filled with amazing friends. You, your friends, and counselors will listen to loons while cooking up a hot breakfast over the crackling campfire, then will pack up and canoe yourself to the next adventure. Join us on a five-day and four-night trip to Northern Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area, where you will tackle a week of primitive camping and get the chance to explore the natural beauty of the great Northwoods. Get ready for the adventure of sleeping outdoors in a tent, canoeing daily, and meeting some of your best friends. We’ll be paddling and portaging to a new campsite almost every night! The first few days will be designated for preparation and planning at Camp Sacajawea before our trek and travel trip. Note: Campers must be able to pass a swim test and tread water for one minute.

Highlights of this session:

• Go primitive camping for five days.
• Go on an off-site camping trip to Northern Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
• Cook meals over a campfire.
• Sleep in a pop-up tent.
• Canoe from campsite to campsite.
• Learn about planning a backpacking trip.

Travel Campers: All specialized backpacking gear is provided by the camp. Campers will want sturdy shoes and must be able to carry a full backpack of gear while hiking through the beautiful and steep terrain.
