Good to Know...
It is important to note that BWCA entry permits are reserved on a first come, first serve basis so the earlier you reserve your trip the better chance you have of securing the best entry point.
Boy & Girl Scouts, Church Groups, Schools, Colleges...
We offer substantially discounted rates to non-profit organizations. To qualify you must be a not-for-profit organization and have a minimum of seven people participate in the trip. Some examples of organizations we have outfitted are: Boy & Girl Scouts of America, Church Groups (adult & youth), Hobby Clubs and Organizations, Elementary & High Schools, Colleges & Universities.
High Adventure Trips
High Adventure Trips are ideal for groups wanting to get back into the wilderness and explore areas seldom see by other canoe country travelers.
Ideal for Boy Scout groups wanting to achieve the 50-Miler Award.
