4-Week Sessions

Pick from our two, 4-week sessions

Confidence soars and friendships grow strong over four weeks at Camp Voyageur. Our creative and energetic staff lead favorite activites like the CV’s Gong Show, the cardboard boat regatta, WELK radio show, and the CV Olympics watch videos. Boys get in shape playing sports as they prepare for two, progressively longer trips into the BWCAW and Superior National Forest, hiking Isle Royale, sea kayaking the Apostle Islands and traversing Canada’s Quetico Provincial Park. A four-week session affords campers time to sail, windsurf, kayak or water ski and learn about archery and Ulmimate Frisbee. While some boys become Bushwackers and Big Men, others earn their name on a mess hall plaques by catching the biggest fish or swimming to nearby islands. Campers enjoy day fishing trips, tour the Soudan Iron Mines and visit Ely’s International Wolf Center and the North American Bear Center.

8-Week Session

Summer Full of Friends and Adventure

The best value in every sense of the word, eight weeks away from home and unplugged rejuvenates the soul. “Catch the Voyageur Spirit,” as physical fitness becomes routine and camping trips dig deeper into the backcountry unleashing self-discovery. In eight weeks at CV strength and confidence come naturally as boys become more responsibile to their group and seek opportunities to lead friends along the path. Camp’s simple, physical lifestyle whittles one down to the essence of their character. Kids get fit, become comfortable on stage and learn valuable life-long skills overcoming new challenges. Returning 8-week campers can spend nearly half their time on the trail as wilderness inspires a love of adventure and a lifelong appreiciation for nature.
