We're excited to be offering a Youth Boundary Waters Trip again the summer of 2023.
This year we hope to get a BWCA permit in the heart of moose country north of Grand Marais. The hope it to be able to enter on Poplar Lake and head south from there and explore the chain of lakes between Poplar and Horseshoe. There will be lots of opportunity for fun and adventure along the way.
We'll travel to the north shore leaving Sunday morning July 23rd. After spending the night at Bethlehem Lutheran church in Grand Marais we'll head up to our entry point. A more detailed packing list will be provided after signups close and we start making our final preparations but we will get our canoes from an outfitter on the Gunflint trail and other camping essentials will be provided as well.
We'll spend three nights in the BWCA before paddling out and staying one additional night in Grand Marais Thursday July 27th. Most of the meals will be provided. Money will be needed for meals while traveling to and from Grand Marais.
Cost for trip is $200 for those involved in the ministry at Grace and $300 for those outside of Grace. We will be doing some fundraisers leading up to the trip that help keep the cost of the trip lower.
If you would like to talk more about the trip before signing up you can reach out to Ben at DSG@gracemankato.org
or 507-524-3254
A meeting will be scheduled later in January before permits become available.
