A boy’s confidence soars and friendships flourish over a four-week session at Camp Voyageur. Our creative and energetic staff lead favorite activities like the Gong Show, Cardboard Boat Regatta, W.ELK Radio Show and CV Olympics. While in camp, boys learn the daily routine of inspection, activities, meals and free swim. Campers have time to enjoy archery, play pickleball, sail, paddleboard, fish, visit the Craft Shop and practice their instruments. Mess Hall plaques showcase the names of boys catching the biggest fish and swimming to nearby islands. Campers can enjoy day fishing trips, touring the Soudan Iron Mines that built America, petting the local sled dogs at Wintergreen and visiting Ely’s International Wolf Center and the North American Bear Center. Voyageur’s in-camp program seasons boys for progressively longer canoe trips into the adjacent million-acre Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Backcountry travel hones camping skills and a few teens become Bushwhacker and Big Man leaders on canoe trips. For many, hiking the rugged North Shore of Lake Superior is a popular option. Campers return each year to visit increasingly remote areas on longer wilderness trips.
