This trip is planned to be easy. First-timers are most definitely welcome and encouraged to join, though seasoned paddlers will also enjoy the relaxed nature of this trip.

Set out into the wild with our experienced guide, LynnAnne Vesper. She’s earned her expertise in these woods and waters through many years of guiding and personal trips in both summer and winter. Her knowledge base is extensive, and she is ready to share her stories and skills with you during this incredible week! There is no better way to learn what the Boundary Waters is all about. 

In addition, she is an excellent camp cook. This trip features a menu of LynnAnne’s favorites! You will definitely be eating well out there!! Since we will be exploring the area from basecamp, we aren't afraid to pack a little heavier on food. 

We outfit you with ultra-light Kevlar canoes and the top-quality equipment included in our Full Outfitting package. Also included in the price is a hotel room the night before and after your time in the wilderness.

Check the Boundary Waters off your bucket list. We make it easy! Use caution, though, you may just get hooked and make this an annual thing!!

Things to know about a BWCAW Trip before signing up: 

• This is wilderness camping. Portages and campsites will have uneven ground. You will be walking over rocks, roots, in the water, and up/down paths. It is important to feel comfortable with your mobility on uneven terrain.

• On a canoe trip, it is important to be able to get in and out of a canoe on your own. The landings can be slippery and rocky. You will also have to get up off the ground whether it’s from your tent or camp chair. 
   
• We will be portaging on this canoe trip. You will have to carry everything that you bring for the trip (remember to pack accordingly). It’s okay to make multiple trips, but you should be able to carry a pack (30-50lbs) over uneven terrain. 
   
• A BWCAW trip requires teamwork. The guide will take a lead role on camp chores and portaging but be prepared to pitch in to help the group.

Please Note: A $300 deposit is required to hold your spot. Final payment for this trip is due 30 days before the trip and is non-refundable. Please look into trip insurance if needed.
