Minnesota Boundary Waters Canoe Trip Description
|
Spend eight days canoeing this environmentally protected watershed with over 1,000 lakes and streams near the US/Canadian border.
Join the thousands of other visitors each year who have discovered this hidden gem.
By day, participants experience the rugged beauty of waterfalls, rock cliffs, and abundant wildlife including moose and turtles.
After some of the most beautiful sunsets imaginable, the group enjoys campfires and falls asleep under a phenomenal blanket of stars - maybe even the Northern Lights!
Participants have ample opportunity for swimming and general fun.
Level 2 trips are basic backpacking and canoe trips.
Experience the next level of wilderness skills as you help select campsites, operate and clean stoves, lead the group with a map and compass,
take over some cooking duties, and extend your leave no trace abilities.
Age-appropriate team elements and initiatives teach leadership, decision-making, and good judgment.
