BWCAW Canoe Expedition

The daily process for these trips is as follows: Wake-Up and Eat; Paddle; portage; set up camp; relax/eat and hang by the fire; repeat. Participants will be in a lightweight Kevlar canoe traveling along a chain of lakes or rivers mainly in the Boundary Water Canoe Area in Minnesota, while camping along the way. Canoes are transported over land between lakes—this is called a portage. Traveling this way allows for a change in topography and provides opportunities to see wildlife. Physical requirements include the ability to hike a few miles at a time while carrying 25-50lbs on their back or shoulders. Degree of physical difficulty: moderate.
