This adventure includes a fully outfitted and professionally guided four-day/three-night BWCAW canoe camping trip and is open to all who identify as LGBTQ+. You’ll be geared up with the best canoeing and camping equipment, right down to your comfy, freshly-laundered sleeping bag. All you need to bring are your clothes, and a thirst for adventure. Expect days of both travel and base-camping. On an optional layover day, we will rest, relax, explore and, if you’d like, fish. Each day will bring new experiences and sights that could include waterfalls, wildlife, towering old growth white pines, and beautiful Northwoods surroundings.
You will make new friends and meet interesting people. Our guests respect each other as individuals and work together and learn with one another as a team in a safe and supportive environment. Sign up by yourself, or bring along a friend. Expect to return home with new friends from the LGBTQ+ outdoors community, a deeper appreciation for the Boundary Waters, some great stories, and a new level of confidence in your outdoors skills.
Listen to the Boundary Waters Podcast featuring stories from one of our LGBTQ+ Wilderness canoe trips. Traveling in the Wilderness with fellow members of the LGBTQ+ community is a really special experience, and we hope you can join us.
