To the Wilderness and back again! Challenge yourself on this multi-sport adventure!
Up for a challenge this summer? Picture yourself on a ropes course and scaling a rock wall, then take off on a multi-day canoeing adventure through one of the most pristine wilderness areas in the country. Afterwards, travel to the southern end of the state to spend an afternoon at the most visited place in the nation "Mall of America."
Picture It
Your adventure starts by heading to the stunning North Shore of Lake Superior. With the encouragement of your fellow teammates push your limits on a high ropes course and climb a rock wall. Travel to our Girl Scout canoe base in Ely, MN. After a day of training and preparing paddle north in your canoe to Canada where you will spend 7-10 days building leadership and outdoor skills that will last a lifetime.
You and your small group will paddle, portage and camp in the Canadian's Quetico Provincial Park and Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
