CV Alumni & Family Canoe Trips 2010

Ever wanted to share the northwoods with your loved ones, but it's been a while since you've done a wilderness canoe trip in the Boundary Waters? Trust us, going into the woods is much like you'll remember (northern lights, loons calling, blazing sunsets, crackling campfires) but arduous as well. Let us take the 'stress' out of planning and allow one our qualified and fun camp guides lead your next family trip. We'll take you to some of the haunts you'll remember from your days at Voyageur. Each trip is limited to 8 participants, no experience necessary, and the trips we're offering are of moderate difficulty. Show your family or a spouse what the 'Northwoods Fever' is all about.

Campers this is your opportunity to show your folks and siblings why you like camp and living in the northwoods. Let us help you by guiding your loved ones with a CV counselor on a Boundary Waters Canoe trip. You'll spend one day in camp preparing for the trip reviewing camping and canoeing skills and doing the final pack-out. Show your folks how we move through the woods and how we camp. Each trip is limited to 8 participants, no experience is necessary because we'll show new folks the ropes, and you can help. Each trip is of moderate difficulty.
