Unplug in the Boundary Waters-Paddling Expedition
Escape to the pristine wilderness of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in northern Minnesota. Join us for a fully outfitted and guided 6-day, 5-night canoe camping expedition designed to immerse you in the solitude and raw beauty of this million-acre landscape. Experience the simple, profound rhythm of life on the water, where the only wake you leave is the ripple of your paddle. We’ll navigate a chain of interconnected lakes, testing our strength and teamwork on several portages each day with lightweight canoes. Each day ends with a remote campsite, celebratory campfire with dinner under a sky designated as an office Dark Sky Sanctuary while hearing loons in the distance.
