Canoe Trips

We offer canoe trips for a variety of skill levels. Our trips progress in difficulty, giving campers new challenges year after year. Start with trips in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, then move on to Canada’s Quetico Provincial Park.

Campers can expect to:

Live and travel in a small community of 4-6 other campers
Travel an average of 6–12 miles a day
Develop wilderness skills like paddling, portaging, navigation, and campcraft
Learn about low-impact wilderness travel
Build connections and friendships with other campers
Challenge themselves under the supervision of our highly trained guides

Financial assistance is available.
